Kahili Bearer Lace Ensemble
By Maile Mauch

The kahili of ancient times were used in the same fashion as the royal nobility scepters.
Announcing the presence of nobility.
Kahiki were also used as fans and fly whisks.
Decorated with feathers, silk and shells today's kahilis are made of dyed feathers, satin
and the flowers of the Island it represents.
Hand kahili's known ans kahili pa'a lima or kahili lele were used in the days of Captain Cook's
arrival to the islands. Many paintings show hawaiian women fanning themselves with 
these ornate feather kahili's.
