Carving, Stern, Taurapa
Wooden taurapa/waka stern. Surface is burnt and cracked. Triangular cross section; flat top with sides tapering in toward the base. One end curved upward to form two elongated curved projections, 65mm apart, one of which has broken off.

The other end appears to have a broken projection in the centre, possibly where it was attached to the waka.
