Kete
Kete. Bag. For carrying personal items. Kete is woven from natural coloured rauara (pandanus leaf) strips with dyed-red and dyed-orange apuraka (giant swamp taro) overlaid design. The kete has a patara (serrated) decorative rim. Overlaid dyed-red/brown and dyed-orange apuraka strips form surface patterns across both sides of the kete. The patterns consists of what is known as hetu matariki (motif consisting of a set of four natural-coloured dextrals in the shape of a star), punarua (row of natural coloured squares, each standing on one corner), and natural-coloured triangles known as tupuae mokora/vaevae mokora. A single braided tatai (handle) with natural coloured rauara and dyed-red/brown apuraka strips spans the kete's opening.
