Sandal

Part of a Paraerae sandal woven from harakeke (flax). Two whenu (strands) are overlaid for reinforcement and woven using a takirua (over two, under two) pattern. This fragment uses smaller whenu (strands) and has a different method of tapiki (finish) to the other fragments and is likely to be from a different paraerae.
