This is a belt made from te ira (pandanus leaves). Pinnules of te ira have been dyed a green tone and a small selection of te ira has been left a light natural off-white colour. The non-dyed te ira has been used to create a pattern along the horizontal of the belt. The belt features a serrated bordered pattern in the off-white te ira then a central geometric pattern. The reverse of the belt remains entirely of the green dyed te ira however a chevron pattern has been woven across the plain weave of the reverse. One end of the belt forms a point and the opposite end is perpendicular in finish. Its style indicates modern influences.WāhiKiribatiAccession Number1995.34.7Rā Tāpiringa16 May 1995Tohu Tuakiri Kē54941 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Belt; 1995.34.7; 54941; Cultural Permissions Apply Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1995.34.7, 54941Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiKiribatiRāCirca 1940Tikanga Waihangawoven [handwoven]Waitohu/māka54941; 1995.34.7; KIRIBATI (label, stick on/label)Pāohopandanus (leaf)/leaf (plant material)/plant materialRaraunga Ine910mm25mmHuinga KaupapaFibrework/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūOrnament, WaistBody AdornmentOrnamentPersonal ArtefactsWhakahounga o Mua30 Nov 2018 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
