Iliili
Iliili. Fan. This is a hand held iliili. It features a length of wood for the handle part and a curved, triangular blade. The handle component is uneven and portrays hafted marks. It is dark brown in colour with a slightly polished surface and is made from kieto (ebony wood). A rectangular cross-section features at its base. The blade has been woven from kāniu (coconut midribs) and lau niu (coconut leaf) and is flat in form. The sides curve inwards and its top edge has been finished with three peaks. The direction of the woven pattern appears to begin from the spine of the blade. Two open woven borders begin from the horizontal base edge of the blade and finish at the three peaks. The spine of the blade has been woven over the tapered length of the handle featuring a plaited braid on both sides. Cordage of dark brown lau ulu (human hair) has been used to secure the blade to the handle. It has also been used to create a woven and decorative intersection between the handle and blade. The cordage and pinnules of the blade portray geometric patterns.
