Objectcode
EA/99/22
Description (brief)
Mouth harp made from a piece of bamboo stem. The stem is cut in twice down to the node. The part between the cuts is narrow and short. The narrow side of the harp is wound with a fibre cord, probably tree-bark fibre, to keep the pieces together. The broad side of the harp has a cord around it as well, to create variations in pitch. The harp is placed at the mouth. Its sound is made breathing out. The mouth harp was used to let a girl know she was favoured.

Description (brief)
Purse, used by men. It was made for the purpose of carrying precious items such as money, kauri shells, and tobacco. The purse is traditionally shaped, but also has a metal zipper. The use of colours is deviant too: besides the traditional brown and yellow we see also blue and white. The two parts divided by the zipper differ in use of colour, patterns, and plaitwork.
