A model of a single hull outrigger canoe. This vaka ama is designed for a single occupant. All components of this vaka ama are carved from wood, brown in colour, and lashed together with what appears to be cotton twine as well as natural plant fibre. The tino vaka (hull) is carved to a point at each end, with a rounded base, from what may possibly be moota wood. Attached to cover the tino vaka is a carved puke (combined prow and stern cover component) which is lashed securely with fibre along the length of the tino vaka including at each terminal end. Decorative incised lines are applied to the surface of the wooden puke, which has a raised serrated ridgeline along its centre. Along each side at the join between the tino vaka and the puke, a line of white fua pule (cowrie shells) is attached for decorative purposes. Two wooden tau toko (crossbooms) extend out from the tino vaka with a supporting rod connecting them. Two tutuki (wooden stakes) are tied to one of the tau toko, and four tutuki are tied to the other. The hama (outrigger) for this model vaka ama is missing. A model fohe is associated with this vaka ama.WāhiNiueRā Tāpiringa1929Tohu Tuakiri Kē3788 (ethnology)M.20 (Edge Partington)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Vaka, 3788, M.20, Photographed by Richard Ng, digital, 08… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 3788; M.20Takenga ā-AhureaNiueanKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiNiueRāPre 1929Tikanga Waihangacarved plaited polished lashedWaitohu/māka3788 (handwritten)Pāoho[mangrove]/hardwood/wood/plant material/AAT Materialscotton (fiber)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibreRaraunga Ine602mm245mm96mmHuinga KaupapaSeafaring/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -woodworkTaumata whakarōpūModelDocumentary ArtefactsCommunication Artefacts ModelOther DocumentsDocumentary Artifacts08 Communication ArtifactsWhakahounga o Mua29 Nov 2022 Tūemi e whai hononga Ngā hua o DigitalNZ Child on vaka ama (raft) in lagoon The University of Auckland Library Double Canoe - Ethnology of Tokelau Islands Victoria University of Wellington Youngster on playing on vaka ama (raft) in lagoon The University of Auckland Library Mea e whai hononga ai E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
