This is the iku (skin) of a baiku (stingray; dasyatidae). It has coiled and dried hard into its rolled form. The surface texture of the epidermis is comprised of small raised bumps in differing heights and nestled in close proximity. These vary in white and ivory. The underside of the skin appears smooth and of a mid brown colour. Remnants of sand remain in crevices and surface of the underside of the iku. The iku has been coiled in this position to potentially be used in producing a tool used for rasping or filing. Depending on its size, it is also known to be used as a surface in woven armoury. The iku can be soaked in water to soften its form and then mount to the desired form depending on its end intentions.WāhiBeru/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiAccession Number1936.295Rā Tāpiringa1936Tohu Tuakiri Kē22907.1 (ethnology)264 (Maude Collection)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te baiku; 1936.295; 22907.1, 264; Cultural Permissions… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1936.295, 22907.1; 264Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKohingaMaudeKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiBeru/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiRāPre 1936Waitohu/māka22907.1; BERU.; GILBERT IS.; DEP.
