Bonito lure. This is made up of four components: cassis shell, te ira n atu (human hair), te benu (coconut fibre) and iron metal. The shank is shaped and smoothed from a cassis shell into a tubular-like form, possibly using an atitai (hard coral stone). The narrow end is tapered, whilst the wider end is slightly narrower than the body, interrupted only by encircling furrows. The furrows assist in the lashing of the iron point. This is done by wrapping the shank and point together using a thin, dark-coloured, two-ply te kora te ira n atu around the iron point and benu. Te ira n atu has been loosened slightly but the iron point and te benu, left in a tassle-like manner, remains intact. The shank is overall an off-white colour with traces of brown lines. Near the tapered end, a perforation is bored through the body of the shank.WāhiTabiteuea/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiAccession Number1936.295Rā Tāpiringa1936Tohu Tuakiri Kē23940.7 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te kaneati; 1936.295; 23940.7; Cultural Permissions Apply Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1936.295, 23940.7Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiTabiteuea/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiRāPre 1936Tikanga Waihangadrilled plaited polished lashedWaitohu/māka23940.7; TABITEUEA; GILBERT IS.; DEP.
