This is a model vaka. It has been made entirely of a dark brown wood material. The hama (outrigger) is missing and only two of the tautoko (crossbooms) remain. The remaining body of the vaka is made up of two components. A tino vaka (hull) features as a whole component for the base of the vaka. It is long and portrays a curved, convex base and tapers from its mid section into two tapered ends for the bow and stern. A prowl cover portrays both the puke (bow and stern) and oa (starboard and port) parts as one component. It has been decorated with a carved design of continuous vertical linear designs. The splash back upon the stern end portrays cross-hatching designs . Four pairs of perforations feature at both ends and sides of for edges of the tino vaka and prowl cover. These are for the purpose of inserting pulu (cordage of coconut sennit cordage) for lashing both tino vaka and prowl cover into place. The length of pulu used to lash both components together also has several fua pule (cowrie shells) threaded along it to decorate the joins of the vaka. The interior of the vaka shows hafted markings across the base and smooth surfaces. Two seat components have been wedge inside of the vaka.WāhiNiueAccession Number1931.580Rā Tāpiringa16 Nov 1931Tohu Tuakiri Kē16857.4 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Vaka, 1931.580, 16857.4, Photographed by Richard Ng,… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1931.580, 16857.4Takenga ā-AhureaNiueanKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiNiueRāPre 1931Tikanga Waihangacarved handmadeWaitohu/māka16857.4; NIUE (handwritten) NIUE; H.G.CROMWELL (label, stick on/label)Pāoho[mangrove]/hardwood/wood/plant material/AAT Materialssennit/cord (fiber product)coconut (fibre)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibrecowrie shell/seashell/shellRaraunga Ine765mm200mm115mmHuinga KaupapaSeafaring/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūModelDocumentary ArtefactsCommunication Artefacts ModelOther DocumentsDocumentary Artifacts08 Communication ArtifactsWhakahounga o Mua24 Sep 2019 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
