I-sala

(

)

Portrait of Seru Epenisa Cakobau wearing an i-sala, watercolor portrait by Edward Fanshawe, 1849

... that although the i-sala (pictured), the traditional barkcloth headdresses of Fijian chiefs, have been described as a turban, the bulk of the shape came from the bushy hair underneath the cloth?

ALT1:... that Fijian chiefs traditionally wore the i-sala (pictured) as a sign of rank?

Creation date and length are ok. Offline sources are accepted in good faith. Image is suitable and with appropriate license. QPQ done. What is needed are citations for the two hooks, which are interesting and whose length is also ok.Alex2006 (talk) 10:17, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

@Alessandro57: It's CochraneQuanchi2014. I place a second reference footnote after the sentence with the hook.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 12:11, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Good! @KAVEBEAR:, would it be possible to add a reference also for ALT1? I am asking that since the original hook has ca. 190 characters, and maybe the DYK designator could have problem with this length. With ALT1 we are on the safe side. Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 12:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

@Alessandro57: It's literally in that same source and basically all the sources listed in that paragraph.--KAVEBEAR (talk)?

OK, i added it after the hook sentence, then now it is Good to go! Alex2006 (talk) 12:55, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
