Niue, once known as Savage Island, holds a rich cultural heritage that is reflected in this stunning artwork. The cloth's decorative elements draw inspiration from nature's bounty - delicate flowers and foliate forms intertwine with diamond shapes to form an ornate composition that exudes elegance and sophistication.
