Kete. Bag. For carrying personal items. Rectangular 'carton' shape. Woven in checkwork from rauara (pandanus leaf). Two layers - one inner woven rauara and outer layer of woven rauara. Effect is an overall strong, durable kete. Mostly natural in colour with decorative element of two dyed-brown rauara akamanea (decorative) bands at upper and lower boundaries of the kete. Edges on the sides and upper rim are bordered with ara vivi (chain weave) woven through edges. So too with the inner side of the two rauara tatai (handles). The tatai are wedged between the two layers of the kete and woven in to be secure. Purchased from Island Craft Ltd. at Pasifika Festival 2001.
