The base end of the encasement shows some fibrous fractures. The blade is flat in depth and tapers into a point towards the top of the reeree. Two pairs of the noko (coconut midrib) run parallel from the base of the blade towards the pointed top. The pairs of the noko have been continuously inlayed with wii ni bakoa (sharks teeth) however the majority of them have become fractured and only their base remains. Central perforations have been made through each wii ni bakoa. This is for the purpose of inserting the nimwaerere (cordage of human hair and the kora) for lashing and positioning both wii ni bakoa and the noko to the edges of the blade. Two sections across the blade have been covered with a coil of the irauea (cordage of human hair) beneath the horizontal lashings of the nimwaerere. The lashing of the nimwaerere has deteriorated in some areas and become loose and fibrous. The pointed end of the reeree shows some splitting amongst the grain of the kanni.
