Image: Haalelea's Feather Cape
Description: Fig. 105. Cape of ʻōʻō with black ʻōʻō crescent, four senncrescents and two cordate figures of ʻiʻiwi. Length, 16 inches; front, 10 inches. Frontal and cervical edging of red, black and yellow. This cape belonged to Honorable Levi Haʻalelea and was worn by him when on a mission to Europe. It is in fine preservation and is remarkable as the only piece of feather work from Hawaiian hands that bears any design similar to the hearts shown in the figure. This, with the two succeeding numbers, is in the possession of Mrs, A. A, Haʻalelea, of Honolulu, who kindly placed them at my disposal for examination and photographing.
