They wore it as a garment, passed between the legs and girdled at the waist, with one pan falling at the front and another at the back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The treatment of the inner bark of the Antiaris genus, which belongs to the Moraceae and Ficus family, is similar to the treatment of the tapa bark tapa in Oceania (previously described here). However, there is a difference in the threshing technique. The result is a thicker, denser bark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The color of the bark when beaten varies from white to orange depending on the fiber used.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-590\" src=\"http:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1-176x176.jpg 176w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-591\" src=\"http:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12-1-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12-1-176x176.jpg 176w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12-1-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12-1.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The clay loincloth of the forests of the Congo Basin<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":586,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":592,"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589\/revisions\/592"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hs-projets.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
