Portrait of a Samoan girl (1890 - 1910). My restoration and colorization of the original image by Thomas Andrew in the Museum of New Zealand archive. The girl is wearing an elaborate traditional Lavalava (also known as an 'ie, short for 'ie lavalava, an article of daily clothing traditionally worn by Polynesians and other Oceanic peoples) made of Polynesian barkcloth.
