This is an ornamental depiction of the reeree. A length of hard wood has been used to portray the purpose of a handle and blade as one component. A woven encasement of the kakoko (thin white pinnules of the young coconut leaf) covers the entire length of the wood. Four sections that feature at the start of the blade and near the end of the blade show a coloured and decorative weave through the encasement. Three out of the four are turquoise dyed and the top in red. Two pairs of the noko (coconut midrib) line the sides of the blade from where the exposed handle section ends towards the tapered point of the reeree. A series of wii ni bakoa (sharks teeth) have been continuously inlayed between the pairs of the noko. A circular perforation features through the centre of each wii ni bakoa. Kora (cordage of coconut sennit fibres) has been threaded through each wii ni bakoa for the purpose of attaching and securing to the blade. Two triangular pieces of the nana (coconut shell) feature where the handle section finishes. The end of the reeree has been finished off with a fringe formed by the selvedge of the kakoko from the woven encasement.WāhiBanaba Island/KiribatiAccession Number1964.47Rā Tāpiringa1964Tohu Tuakiri Kē37491 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te reeree, 1964.47, 37491, Photographed by Jennifer Carol,… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1964.47, 37491Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiBanaba Island/KiribatiRāPre 1964Tikanga Waihangadrilled woven lashed inlay [handmade] [handwoven]Waitohu/māka37491 (handwritten)Pāohowood/plant materialsennit/cord (fiber product)coconut (fibre)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibre[coconut leaf]/leaf (plant material)/plant material[coconut shell]/shell (plant material)/plant materialcoconut leaf midrib/coconut leaf/leaf (plant material)/plant materialshark/fish/tooth/boneRaraunga Ine670mm55mmHuinga KaupapaWarfare/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūSwordArmament T&E, WeaponTools & Equipment for Science & TechnologyWhakahounga o Mua05 Dec 2018 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
