i Roi
human history
i Roi. Fly whisk. Made from composite materials. The i Roi consists of a long liga ni i roi (handle) carved from kau (wood), round in section, with magimagi (coconut sennit) as the whisk. The long strands of dark coloured magimagi are braided at their base attached to the head of the medium brown handle then become loose strands as they flare outwards. The wooden liga is longer than the whisk component.
