Horn (putona) made from a triton shell. There is a large circular blowhole near the apex. The shell is cradled in a woven carrying strap, which loops around the spire, and then is tied through a cut hole in the outer lip. The strap is comprised of eight finely plaited cords of coconut husk fibre, woven across with more coconut husk fibre. Three small cylindrical carved pieces of bone(?) are attached. The most intricately carved toggle (ivi po'o) is carved with tiki figures. Several bunches of hair are bound by twisted fibres to the tiki.
