bure kalou
Such portable temples (bure kalou) are scaled-down replicas of a Fijian temple. They were kept in the large temples and presumably taken on boat journeys. The tedious production of the metre-long cords (magimagi) and their processing into portable temples was work dedicated to the deities. From the middle of the 19th century, they were made for sale to Europeans.
