This is a handwoven fan. A handle of kieto (ebony wood) has been hafted into a length. 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 od 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 black dyed lau fou (lace bark) has been woven through the lau fā portraying an intricate geometric mata pelē (pattern).WāhiNiueAccession Number2004.120.12Rā Tāpiringa18 Nov 2004Tohu Tuakiri Kē56269 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Iliili, 2004.120.12, 56269, Photographed by Richard Ng,… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 2004.120.12, 56269Takenga ā-AhureaNiueanKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiNiueRāPre 2004Tikanga WaihangawovenWaitohu/māka56269; 2004.120.12 (handwritten)Pāohoebony/hardwood/wood/plant materialhoheria (fibre)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibrecoconut leaf midrib/coconut leaf/leaf (plant material)/plant materialRaraunga Ine200mm380mmHuinga KaupapaFibrework/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūFanPersonal Assistive ArtefactsPersonal GearPersonal ArtefactsWhakahounga o Mua16 Sep 2019 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
