Collection Record

Flute, Koauau

Complete flute. Both ends are smoothed. There are four perforations, three along the middle and one near the proximal end. The majority of the darkened striations are in a cross-hatched pattern, however there are three striations that wrap around the koauau between the first and second perforations. There is a crack that runs almost the length of the flute, but is only split from the distal end to halfway.
