Te nana. Coconut shell discs. This is a prepared length of te nana (coconut shell discs) that have been threaded onto te kora (coconut sennit fibre cordage). The kora is two-ply and a mid-brown in colour. Its length is longer than the series of te nana threaded onto it. It has been fastened in two places, featuring two small knots along the extension. A weakend segment of the kora has become detached over time leaving it undone. Te nana are small, hard and circular. They have a small circular perforation in the centre where te kora has been threaded through. These would have been prepared and kept with the intention of being made into te katau (waist ornament) for special occassions.
