Te burerewa portray a yellowish tranparency over a base exterior that is off-white and slightly grey in colour. Their centres are slightly bulbous in form with small protusions surround the flat base area. A floral printed cotton cloth has been cut, then attached to one end and then a waffle, woven cotton cloth in pale green has been attached at the other end. These would have been used to fasten the taona n riri across the waist. These would be worn only by women or young girls. They would be positioned across the waist above te riri (skirt) and below a waist ornament of te nana (coconut shell) discs.
