    • Kāʻei kapu o Līloa, a sacred cordon, baldric, or sash, the highest symbol of authority, on display in 1976 at the Bishop Museum. It is made of a net of olonā fibre with red ʻiʻiwi feathers on the sides and a lei of ʻōʻō feathers on the borders. The end, hanging in front of the body, is ornamented with human and fish teeth. The other end was brought over the shoulders and passed twice around the waist. According to tradition it was made by Līloa for his son ʻUmi in the late 15th century. A copy, without the teeth, is on the statue of Kamehameha in front of Aliʻiolani Palace, Honolulu.
