Three groupings of two traditional Hawaiian repairs, kepakepa (zigzag) and pewa (fishtail), are combined in high relief against the background of a stylized royal ahuula (red feather cape or cloak). The three curving repair motifs extend beyond the cape, suggesting the swirling movement of the feather garment when worn.
