is uutque in the colledlion. When suspended, it has the appearance of an arcade with 



the flooring angularly chan- 

 nelled. The first step in 



making this koko was the 



construdlion of an arch in the 



same manner as Piko F, the 



loops on the pillars being very 



short and on the arch of vari- 

 ous lengths. Inside the arc, 



to stiffen it, was placed a piece 



of coir. The six arches com- 

 plete (probably in separate 



pieces), the pillars were joined 



by running fine double cords 



alternately through the small 



loops of the opposing sides. 



Then a row of twelve long pun 



was attached, one pun to the 



base of each, of the original 

 pillars, and joined together in 

 pairs by a row of six short 

 pun. The basal cords, the 

 arches and pillars having 

 been included in the long 

 and short pun, were incor- 

 porated with other loose 

 ends in a piko roughly made 

 after the style of Piko N. 

 To the outer edge was add- 

 ed a row of Hanai D, which 

 made it ready for the kakai.
