Description (CMS Description)
Small Tongan-style paddle of light brown wood. The lower part of the handle has been replaced (different type of wood) and fitted thanks to two triangular inserts and secure with small metallic nails. A thin ridge joins the two lower parts of the blade. 'ADI ARIETA KUILA' and 'BAU' are carved underneath. An attempt to carve a name (the same one?) was done on the other side and abandoned.
