This is an ili made of tuaaniu (coconut midrib), wood, and laukie (soft pandanus). The handle is made from a thin piece of wood that is painted black. The piece of wood is lashed tightly in laukie to secure it to the blade. The blade is a semi-circle shape made of tuaaniu. The tuaaniu is then tightly wrapped in laukie before it is further wrapped in dyed laukie for decorative purposes. Green, red and purple laukie are used to make decorative motifs along the blade. As in many parts of the Pacific, ili were used to keep cool in the hot weather or presented as gifts to visitors.WāhiUnknownTohu Tuakiri Kē2011.x.629 (temporary accession number)51990 (Number on object)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te ili, 2011.x.629, 51990, Cultural Permissions Apply Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira, 2011.x.628, 51990Takenga ā-AhureaunknownKaiwaihanga Matua unknownWāhiUnknownRāUnknownTikanga Waihangawoven lashedWaitohu/māka51990 / TUVALU (handwritten)Pāohowood/plant materialpandanus (leaf)/leaf (plant material)/plant materialcoconut (fibre)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibreRaraunga Ine442mm190mm15mmHuinga KaupapaFibrework/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Featherwork/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūFanPersonal Assistive ArtefactsPersonal GearPersonal ArtefactsWhakahounga o Mua06 Oct 2023 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
