This is an ili made of laufala (pandanus) and crepe paper. The handle of the ili is cylindrical in shape and wrapped in lalaga (woven) laufala. The handle then flares to form a diamond shaped blade. The blade is lalaga using thicker strips of laufala and a simple technique. Blue crepe paper is then threaded through the laufala for decorative purposes. The edge of the blade is then wrapped in black material and sewn to give the ili a clean finish. As in many parts of the Pacific, ili are used to keep cool in hot weather or presented as gifts to visitors.WāhiTuvaluAccession Number1985.244Rā Tāpiringa1985Tohu Tuakiri Kē51899 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te ili, 1985.244, 51899, Cultural Permissions Apply Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1985.244, 51899Takenga ā-AhureaTuvaluanKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiTuvaluRāPre 1985Tikanga WaihangawovenWaitohu/māka51899 / TUVALU (handwritten)Pāohopandanus (fibre)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibre[cotton textile]crepe paper/paper (fiber product)Raraunga Ine510mm390mm25mmHuinga KaupapaFibrework/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūFanPersonal Assistive ArtefactsPersonal GearPersonal ArtefactsWhakahounga o Mua06 Oct 2023 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
