This is defined by the raised ridge segment of te rabatan te matau. Among this segment features a small circular drilled perforation where a cord has been inserted and knotted around the end. Te ao (line) extends out and is finished with a knot upon its end, this would most likely be attached to another line. The opposite end of te rabatan te matau has been utilized in lashing te tabon te matau (point) and a short hackle of te ira (hair). Te tabon te matau has been made from copper. It appears to have been worked into its current form, a slim cone-like form that curves towards the flat side of te rabatan te matau. It is dark brown in colour with some erosion at its base. An off-white thread has been used to lash it to te rabatan te matau. The hackle of ira has been tied across its centre to the te rabatan te matau. It is a mix of pale yellow and brown strands.
