Basket, Kōnae
Rourou (food bowl). Woven with twelve whenu (strands) of harakeke (flax) from the centre outwards in a takitahi pattern. Completed with a whiri (braid) tied with a piece of flax that is looped through the basket and knotted into a handle. Rourou were frequently constructed as single or limited use items as they were quick and easy to weave.
