This is a skirt made from te kakoko (young, white, central leaf of the coconut palm). When laid out flat it is rectangular in shape and flat in form. It features a two-ply te kora (cordage of coconut sennit fibres) that extend from the top right and left corners. When the garment is wrapped around the wearer’s waist the cords can be used to fastened te riri together. A mass of very thin te kakoko pinnules have been knotted from the waistband and would hang vertically when worn. It has been detailed with a looped strand of te kakoko, forming a border across the top of the waistband. Three different lengths of knotted kakoko make up the layered mass of te riri. The width of the pinnules in the middle layer are slightly wider than those featured on the base and top layer. The entire te riri appears to have been dyed as a whole garment after being made. It has been dyed a dark brown colour.WāhiBeru/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiAccession Number1936.295Rā Tāpiringa1936Tohu Tuakiri Kē24988 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te riri; 1936.295; 24988; Cultural Permissions Apply Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1936.295, 24988Takenga ā-AhureaKiribatiKaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)WāhiBeru/Gilbert Islands/KiribatiRāPre 1936Tikanga Waihangawoven [handmade] [handwoven]Waitohu/māka802mm 409mmPāohosennit/cord (fiber product)coconut (fibre)/plant fibre/natural fibre/fibre[coconut leaf]/leaf (plant material)/plant materialRaraunga Ine802mm409mmHuinga KaupapaFibrework/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūClothing, OuterwearPersonal ArtefactsWhakahounga o Mua26 Jun 2023 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
