Basket
Artfully crafted traps like this one were used to catch fish. The baskets were weighed down by stones so that they sank to the bottom of the lagoon reefs. The catch could be emptied by opening the lid. Fishing baskets such as these were made by binding unstripped ironwood sticks together with coir string. A photograph taken around 1899 by Antonie Brandeis documents this process.
