fishing hook

The fishing hook consists of a curved piece of mussel shell(?) as a hook, which is attached to one end of a thin bamboo tube with a thin cord. At the other end of the tube, also with a thin cord, a coarser, long rope made of plant fibre is attached as a fishing line. The fishing line is wrapped around the bamboo cane in many loops.
