Te koro. Husker. This is a tool used for separating benu (coconut husk) from te nana (coconut shell). It is made of wood. It features a natural grown three-pronged end with a hafted point on the opposite end. Nodes dappled across the surface show where branches may have been present. The bark is red-brown in colour where a light brown wood is revealed throughout the worn areas of the surface.
