Standing up kesa
- Collection
- Description
-
Standing up kesa. This series shows the process of standing up kesa in order to display and measure it, as was conventional procedure in all kesa transactions. Wrappings are of ivory nut palm leaf and the measuring stick, which also prevents the rickety stack from falling, is the mid-rib from the leaf. The kesa must stand freely and be neatly arranged, but the rough edges of the thin shell make this difficult. This kesa is worth five small kesa. Kesa larger than this one were given personal names, and their histories were carefully remembered and related by their owners.
