Fishermen's hat. This is a hat made of te ira (pandanus). It is formed like a circular pyramid. The exterior is made up of wide pinnules of te ira that have been tacked together with thread of a similar pale yellow colouring. The interior is made up of another layer: a plain woven mat of te ira. A thick wire has been used to create the frame for the rim. The selvedge of the te ira strips have been folded over the metal rim and then stitched down with thread. Where the te ira has been tacked on the exterior, longer stitchs from this can be seen on the interior. A small segment of the rim exposes the metal inlay and where the rust has stained the surrounding te ira. This style of hat would be worn by fishermen to sheild their eyes from the sun.Wāhi[Melanesia]/[Pacific] [Polynesia]/Pacific [Kiribati]Accession Number1934.168Rā Tāpiringa1934Tohu Tuakiri Kē20279 (ethnology)WāhangaPacific Uiuitia Tāpirihia ki Taku Kete Te bwara te tarawa; 1934.168; 20279; Cultural Permissions… … Read more Tirohia ngā pikitia Mātātuhi me ngā tuhinga Mātātuhi Mātātuhi Taonga Taonga Rārangi MihiCollection of Auckland Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, 1934.168, 20279Takenga ā-Ahurea[Kiribati]Kaiwaihanga Matua Unknown (Maker)Wāhi[Melanesia]/[Pacific] [Polynesia]/Pacific [Kiribati]RāPre 1934Tikanga Waihangawoven sewn [handwoven]Waitohu/māka20279; JOUR.; J.O'NEILL (label, stick on/label)Pāohopandanus (leaf)/leaf (plant material)/plant materialmetal/inorganic materialthreadRaraunga Ine360mm210mm245mmHuinga KaupapaFishing/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Men/- PACIFIC SUBJECTS -Taumata whakarōpūHelmetArmament T&E, Body ArmourArmament T& E, ArmourTools & Equipment for Science & TechnologyWhakahounga o Mua09 Aug 2019 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
