Ethnology of Manihiki and Rakahanga

Figure 89. Bonito hook, attachments of snood to point. a, snood (1) looped around base of point (3) and end (2) brought back along standing part for overlap ranging from 12 mm. to 30 mm.; overlap generally short, and in no loop does short end reach head of shank. b, overlap closely seized with lashing (5) of thin thread, which commences distally with first turn (6) which crosses bent-down end; subsequent close turns bury and fix end; close turns continued past short end for few turns, when thre…
