    Wooden receptacle (English)

  • Kupu whakaahua

    Te kumete. Wooden receptacle. This is a carved wooden bowl. It has been made from itai wood (Calophyllum inophyllum). It has an oval rim and is low in height with a complete concaved exterior. Two small circular nodes have been carved out from the top rim and are positioned opposite each other. A furrow has been carved along the node's surface. Either side of this furrowed node are two short cracks from the rim down.

    A circular cavity features under the opposite node upon the exterior. The interior of the kumete shows braised markings that could define a rasping tool that was used in shaping and filing the kumete. Its surface area is smooth and overall tone is that of a tan brown. There are small cavities spread out across the interior and exterior of the kumete.
