Te ririko. Neck ornament of porpoise teeth. It is made of two material components: wiin te kua kewe (porpoise teeth) and te kora (coconut sennit fibre cordage). A braided cord makes up the neck band. The ends have been knotted to prevent the fibres from unravelling. An addition strand of te kora in a lighter colour has been attached to the ends of the braided kora. The ends of the neck band begin with a single row of wiin te kua kewe, which then splits, intertwining a single tooth to perceive a double layered look along the central segment of the Neck ornament. The wiin te kua kewe on this Neck ornament are small in size and are from a small porpoise. The roots of the teeth are matte in a dark off-yellow colour, the exposed ends of the teeth are polished and off-white in colour. Small perforations have been made with a shark toothed pump drill into the roots of the teeth for te kora to be threaded through. This type of neck ornament can be worn by either men or women at any time.
