Kato pesi

human history
  • Other Name

    Basket (English)

  • Description

    Kato. Basket. This is a hand woven kato. It has been made from lau fā (pandanus leaf). It is rectangular in shape and is two-sided. The opening of the kato portrays a woven serrated rim. Two kavei (handles) of the same material fibre have been attached to the kato. A braided finish has been used to fix the base along the kato. The woven mass of the kato portrays a mix of lalaga (plain woven) and lalaga fakafiti (twill woven) mata pelē (patterns).

    Different shades of brown define a plaid-like design across the woven mass of the kato. Some of the dark brown shaded pinnules show speckles of dark brown also. The remaining woven mass of the kato is of a pale, matte yellow. This kato is part of the Te Rangi Hiroa (Dr. Peter Buck) collection.
