Depicted in
this image are shark tooth weapons, a boar tusk bracelet, a rattle,
a dagger and an idol.
The weapons,
constructed from wood and set with teeth from sharks, were primarily
used in hand-to-hand combat.
The bracelet
was composed of a series of boar's tusks strung on a cord.
The gourd
rattle, filled with seeds and capped with decorative featherwork, was
a popular musical accompaniment to hula.
The dagger
(pahoa) was another implement of war.
The idol was
constructed from wicker and covered with feathers. The eyes were
made from mother-of-pearl and the mouth was set with the teeth
of dogs. This remarkable figure represents Kukailimoku, in his
role as the god of war.
