Description
A small cast net used for catching squid. The net is green with a fine, diamond mesh weave. A strand of plant fibre has been wound through the rim of the net's opening. Tied to this strand are four large, brown and cream cowrie shells. Holes have drilled through the tapered ends of the shells so as to attach them. A long, brown braided rope is tied to the opposite side of the net and is wrapped around itself in a loose coil.
