Te kao
human history
Te kao. A netted mesh bag made from strings of coconut fibre. The strings are acquired by rolling together strands of coconut husk, where a pair is then twisted together. The trapezoidal body of the bag is formed when these strings are knotted together. The opening or mouth of the bag has multiple loops which has a string threaded through it, allowing the netted bag to be closed or tightened.
