The prowl cover portrays engraved markings over its entire surface. Both splash backs are featured as a raised square ridge with carved triangular designs. Both the stern and bow portray carved elongated triangular markings also. The oa feature short triangle carvings that repeat from one end towards the other. Several perforations have been made along both the edges of the tino vaka and prowl cover for the purpose inserting pulu (cordage of coconut sennit). The pulu has been utilized for assembling both components to portray the main body of the vaka. A single seat has been wedged inside of the vaka between the positioning of the two tautoko. Both of which have also been lashed to the vaka with a different type of cordage to that of pulu. A single cordage has been attached to both the tautoko and left loose. The hama which has been lashed to the ends of the tautoko is long and curved featuring a point towards the front and a angled, circular cross-section at the other end. The fohe portrays a long handle and tear drop shaped blade.
