Ola. Fishing basket. This is a handwoven 'ato (basket). It portrays a long depth, slim internally braided base with a larger oval rim for the opening. It has been made entirely from lau niu (coconut palm leaf). The pinnules of the lau niu have been folded in half then woven together to form the lalaga (weave) of the ola. The fibrous interior of the tuāniu (midrib) can be seen along the inside of the opening edge. This style of lalaga is considered more finer that the simple kind of 'ato such as the ‘ato fu’e umu lapotopoto (round plaited food basket). The rim of the ola has been carefully finished with a fa'a au (plaited rim) to make it stronger. This would be used for the purpose of carrying fish.
