Bailer, Tata
Complete tatā (waka bailer) made of dark brown rimu. Surface is smooth with chisel marks evident. The curved handle protrudes over the scoop, with a facial carving on the butt consisting of spirals and notches and two perforations. A stump on the interior of the scoop below the handle indicates that there had once been a support bar projecting from the underside of the handle which has since been sawn off. There is another carving at the base of the handle and at the back of the scoop with koru, spiral, and notch patterns. The interior and exterior of the scoop are undecorated.
