human history

i Roi. Fly whisk. Made from composite materials. The i Roi consists of a long liga ni i roi (handle) carved from kau (wood) round in section, with magimagi (coconut sennit) as the whisk. The long strands of dark brown magimagi are braided at their base attached to the head of the dark brown handle then become loose strands as they flare outwards. A small hole is drilled near the butt of the handle.
