This is an excellent example of early 20th century Micronesian Armour collected by Frank Burnett, a Canadian writer, in Kiribati in 1902. The armour is made of finely woven <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/coir" class="extiw" title="en:coir">coir</a> that covers the whole body and its breastplate is intriguingly made of stingray skin. The neck protector has rows of a diamond design pattern in black on dark brown ground. This item was donated to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBC_Museum_of_Anthropology" class="extiw" title="w:UBC Museum of Anthropology">UBC Museum of Anthropology</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver" class="extiw" title="w:Vancouver">Vancouver</a>, Canada, in 1927 where its museum catalogue number is C1491 a-e
