Shark rattle. This fishing implement is made for the specific purpose of attracting sharks in the water. The kawaruwaru is submerged in the water by the fisherman and rattled to emit sounds to attract the sharks. This kawaruwaru consists of three large shells including one Charonia, each perforated at one edge. A rusty metal wire is threaded through each shell and looped to gather all three together onto a central metal loop. The metal wire is connected to a suspension cord of commercial fibre with small fragments of te kora (coconut sennit) incorporated. The shells have a calcified outer surface. Some surface damage has occurred.WāhiNonouti/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiAccession Number1940.3Rā Tāpiringa1940Tohu Tuakiri Kē25164 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te kawaruwaru, 1940.3, 25164, Photographed by Daan Hoffmann,… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1940.3, 25164Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKohingaMaudeKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiNonouti/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiRāPre 1940Tikanga Waihangadrilled plaited lashedWaitohu/māka25164 GILBERT IS.
