This is a handwoven fan. A handle of kieto (ebony wood) has been hafted to form a shaft. It is a blend of dark brown and light brown tones. The end of the handle shows some slight nicks. Kieto is a rare wood material in Niue. Half of the handle has been encased and woven over as part of the blade of the iliili. The blade has been constructed from a framework of lau niu (coconut midribs) and then woven over with kāniu (the young white leaf of the coconut frond). The woven blade is triangular in shape and flat in form. The sides curve in to form a serrated top corner. The sides also portray two openly woven borders. A width of lau fā (pandanus leaf) in pale yellow has been wrapped around the kieto handle below the blade. A braided length of dark brown lau ulu (human hair) has been woven through the lau fā portraying an intricate geometric mata pelē (pattern). It has become loose over time and the lower border of the lau fā has curled inwards.WāhiUnknownRā TāpiringaUnknownTohu Tuakiri Kē2004x4.460 (temporary accession number)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Iliili, 2004x4.460, Photographed by Richard Ng, digital, 14… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 2004x4.460Takenga ā-AhureaunknownKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiUnknownRāUnknownTikanga Waihangaplaited Hafted handmade handwovenWaitohu/māka2004x4.460 (label, stick on/label) (No number) Niue (label, stick on/label)Pāohopandanus (leaf)/leaf (plant material)/plant material[coconut leaf]/leaf (plant material)/plant materialebony/hardwood/wood/plant materialhuman hair/hair/animal materialcoconut leaf midrib/coconut leaf/leaf (plant material)/plant materialRaraunga Ine290mm480mmHuinga KaupapaFibrework/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūFanPersonal Assistive ArtefactsPersonal GearPersonal ArtefactsWhakahounga o Mua24 Sep 2019 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
