Tairiiri. Fan. Composite tairiiri. The blade is in the shape of an inverted triangle. The blade is woven from kikau ou (young coconut leaf) with dyed-black apuraka (giant swamp taro) akamanea (decoration) and mauranga (handle) rakau (wooden). Plaited commencement at centre base. Woven outward in vertical twilled-2 from the centre to form lower edges and body of the blade. Weaving technique alters towards the top into a line of horizontal twilled-2 and then split into finer check weave to finish the rim (27 mm wide). Top edge is curved. Overall colour of the blade is natural. Decorative dyed-black strips of apuraka akamanea form a checker-patterned curved band across the top of the blade. Blade is attached to a carved dark brown mauranga rakau. Secured at the centre base with 28 mm of sewn pink ribbon. Additional measurements of fan components: length of blade is 253 mm, length of mauranga is 128 mm, length of section of handle inserted into blade is 210 mm. Good condition overall. "48652 COOK IS?" is handwritten in white ink at the base of the mauranga.
