Ali. Wooden pillow. This is an ali made from one piece of wood. The ali is a dark brown colour with a rough surface. The ali is marred with grooves that clearly show the workmanship used to create it. The ali is rectangular and supported by two thick, rectangular legs. Each leg has an uneven shaped hole carved through it. Ali were used in place of pillows by the Tokelau population.
