Description

wood, dark brown patina, fine flax binding, face (“wheku”) at the blowing end and a further face carved around a central hole, both with haliotis-shell eyes, slightly dam., abrasion of paint;
this instrument could be played at either end, either as a flute or a bugle. Traditional information would suggest that these were used more for signalling when a chief was returning to a village than for making music.
