Ke’a tuki popoi / 2
C.D.A.1037
Hawaii
Anticamente la pietra veniva lavorata a percussione e levigata su rocce o con sabbia.
Usato per la preparazione dell'impasto del "popoi", cibo quotidiano costituito dal "mei", il frutto dell’albero del pane (Artocarpus altilis). Dopo la cottura il "mei", frutto dell'albero del pane (Artocarpus altilis), veniva pelato e grattugiato con schegge di conchiglia o di pietra. Gli uomini, seduti per terra all'estremità di un'asse di legno lievemente concava che avevano precedentemente inumidito con acqua, schiacciavano il "mei" con colpi brevi e veloci del pestello. Successivamente l'impasto veniva mescolato ad acqua o latte di cocco. Vita quotidiana

To'i - axe
Wood, stone, vegetable fibres
The quality of the materials and the manufacture indicate that it was used in sacred works, for example in the construction of war canoes. The functionality of this type of tool was such that the Tahitians, in the eighteenth century, bought European axes to replace the stone blades with those of iron while maintaining the traditional body.

Boomerang (return trajectory)
wood
The return-trajectory boomerang - the only authentic boomerang in the proper sense - must be manufactured in a uniform manner, including a curvature in the center of about 135,- blunt or slightly salient on the convex side. It’s used as a hobby.
Launched with dexterity, it begins to rotate swiftly on itself rising in the air in the vertical plane of launch, then tilts laterally until it gradually reaches the horizontal position. It can describe a series of circles up to the descending trajectory that deposits it near the pitcher. The range, up to about 100 m, is shorter than that of the boomerang of no return, because part of the propulsion force is used for the return trajectory.
