"The 'Tagaga' is a forked piece of hardwood/vesi at the top of a canoe mast, over which the halyards are hauled. It is often artistically carved and is a symbol for stability in the Fijian culture. The Tagaga symbol is the official logo of the Reserve Bank of Fiji. The painting is a mixed media of bark cloth/masi, woven banyon tree leaf/voivoi, canvas and oil paint"
