A small section of the base has been left exposed for the purpose of a handle. Lengths of the noko in two different sizes line the barbed length of the reeree. Each pair of noko features a continuous inlay of wii ni bakoa. Each wii ni bakoa shows a drilled circular perforation through its centre where the kora has been inserted. This is for the purpose of lashing and securing both the noko and wii ni bakoa to the length of the blade. Two sections of the blade beneath the lashing has been covered with a coil of the irauea. The end of the noko near the point has been bound off with a small coil of the nimwaerere (cordage of both human hair and coconut sennit fibres). Te kora has become loose over the blade and some wii ni bakoa have come undone in the process.
