Kete. Bag. For carrying personal items. Woven from rauara (pandanus leaf) strips with apuraka (giant swamp taro) overlaid design. Flat, rectangular shape. The kete has a patara (serrated) rim. Dyed-brown apuraka overlaid strips form surface pattern. Commencement is at base. The primary pattern is known as viti (vertical lines of check). This is placed in-between decorative border rows known as ara veri (diagonal rows of small rectangles), with two rows of check woven below and above the viti pattern. The outer rows of dyed-brown/red check are woven into the foundation weave of the kete. The patterned overlay is 140mm long, with 45mm of natural-coloured rauara strips at the upper of the kete's body, with 62mm of natural-coloured rauara strips below the patterned overlay. There are various shades of brown/red throughout the patterned overlay. This indicates various batches of dye used. Dyed-brown/red and natural-coloured strips are interwoven to form an iri (braided) tatai (handle). Tatai (handle) is sewn into the upper-centre of kete using light-coloured cotton thread, spanning the kete's opening. "33700.3" (ethnology number) is handwritten in black ink on the outside upper-left area of the kete. "Cook Is 33700.3" is handwritten in red/brown ink on the inside of the kete's rim. White marks are visible on the outside upper-left area of the kete(side with ethnology number) on the patterned overlay.
