Sword. This is a hand held weapon made from the following materials: kanni (coconut palm wood), noko (coconut midrib), wii ni bakoa (shark teeth), kora (coconut sennit fibre cordage), ira (pandanus leaf) and irauea (cordage of human hair). A length of kanni has been cut and filed into a cylindrical form with a tapered point at the top. Its base shows a short tapered point and circular cross-section. Two pairs of the noko start from the centre of the length of the kanni and finish just before the point of the reeree. Each pair shows a continuous inlay of wii ni bakoa. Each wii ni bakoa shows a drilled circular perforation at its centre where the kora has been inserted and used to lash and position both the noko and wii ni bakoa. A fractured and fibrous width of the ira has been used to finish the point of the reeree. A thin length of the irauea has been used to create a woven encasement and a few lengths of the original fringing remain.WāhiKiribatiAccession Number1990.57Rā Tāpiringa06 Mar 1990Tohu Tuakiri Kē53460.1 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te reeree, 1990.57, 53460.1, 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, 1990.57, 53460.1Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiKiribatiRāPre 1990Tikanga Waihangacarved drilled woven lashed inlay [handmade] [handwoven]Waitohu/māka53460.1 (handwritten)Pāohosennit/cord (fiber product)pandanus (leaf)/leaf (plant material)/plant materialcoconut (fibre)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibre[coconut wood]/wood/plant materialhuman hair/hair/animal materialcoconut leaf midrib/coconut leaf/leaf (plant material)/plant materialshark/fish/tooth/boneRaraunga Ine550mm20mmHuinga KaupapaWarfare/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūArmament T&E, WeaponTools & Equipment for Science & TechnologyWhakahounga o Mua12 Dec 2018 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
