The base of the pinnules show lau fā hika (pandanus strips that have lines scored upon them) These have been woven together to form decorative geometric designs. An alternating border of pale green and natural pale brown woven pinnules finish the base edges of the kato. The opening edges of the kato have been finished off with a looping technique of plain and natural pale brown lau fā.
