Coconut husking stick. A koro would normally be wedged into the ground and the coconut would be pulled over the sharpened staff to remove the benu (coconut husk fibre). Made from the ngea tree, this koro is possibly more of a model than an implement of practical use because of its thin shape. This specimen has two sharpened off shoots from the main cylindrical shaft as well as a smooth surface treatment.WāhiBeru/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiAccession Number1936.295Rā Tāpiringa1936Tohu Tuakiri Kē23981.1 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te Koro; 1936.295; 23981.1; Cultural Permissions Apply Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1936.295, 23981.1Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKohingaMaudeKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiBeru/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiRāPre 1936Tikanga WaihangacarvedWaitohu/māka23981.1 BERU, GILBERT IS.
