Broken flute, small fragment remaining. The surface is covered in striations, some diagonal, some vertical.

Broken flute, small fragment remaining. There is a single perforation close to one end. The surface is covered in striations in a diagonal pattern. Previously broken, there is a visible repair through the centre.

Unfinished flute. This flute is finished at both ends, but has no perforations.

Complete wooden pūtōrino. Bound at each end with harakeke strands; discolouration on the surface appears to indicate that there once were additional binding sites. Single mouth perforation on one side with rudimentary eyes carved onto surface and very two shallow koru radiating from centre below mouth. An unevenly set cross-shaped mark sits on top face above eyes. Surface has been varnished in the past but now worn. Two cracks running longitudinally on both sides with tape residue running along one.

Complete wooden pūtōrino. Bound with strands of harakeke at each end and at four places on the body. Tapered at the distal end, with a knobbed mouthpiece at the proximal end. Perforation at the centre on one side. Surface has been painted mid-brown. Two cracks running longitudinally on each side.

Complete flute. There are three perforations along the top, and one at the proximal end. There are some diagonal striations on the side towards the distal end.

Broken flute, a large longitudinal fragment remaining, with smaller fragments glued on. The proximal end is complete, with most of the distal end broken and not present. There is a small fragment that is broken off that should sit along the upper middle. There are three perforations, two at the proximal end, with one remaining along the top. There are darkened striations in a variety of patterns along the surface, at the distal and proximal end the pattern is chevron, but is cross-hatched in the middle.

Unfinished but unbroken flute. There is a single perforation at one end. There are striations wrapped around the flute in a chevron pattern. There is a longitudinal along one side.

Unfinished flute. There is a single perforation at one end. At the opposite end, there is a thin piece of wire wrapped around once, twisted, and then cut. There are multiple longitudinal cracks, and several repairs at the end with the wire.

Unfinished but unbroken flute. Both ends are cut, but one end is smoother than the other. There are no perforations.

Complete flute with two perforations. Proximal and distal ends are rough and not smooth. Fragments from surface missing on top near perforations. There is a latitudinal striation, and some random diagonal striations.

Complete flute, with small fragments missing from either end. The flute has two visible repairs where it was previously broken. There are four perforations, one on the side of the proximal end, and three along the top. There are darkened striations in chevron pattern.
