Royal Treasure Chest

By Craig T. Kojima, Star Bulletin

Gavan Imamura, above, looks over a collection of Hawaiian stone
pounders, used by Hawaiians of old to pound taro into poi and
prepare medicines. The pounders are among precious, rare and
rarely seen treasures of Hawaii and the Pacific that go on
exhibit tomorrow through May 4 at Bishop Museum.

Below, objects conservator Christine Thede puts finishing touches
on a display of a rare yellow feather cloak that belonged to
Kamehameha the Great.
