| Notes: | Label source: These fibre kits are handmade by Maori women in Wairoa, Hawke's Bay. 'Kit' is the modern version of the Maori word 'kete', the old time Maori hold-all. These were made in a variety of shapes and sizes and utilised as food containers, both f, or storage and eating from, as well as gathering food in. Today the Maori kit is still extensively used as a general purpose basket and with ordinary care your kit will give you years of wear. | ||||
