A wooden kava or yaqona bowl on six legs, threaded at the front with a rope and shells, and with a brass presentation plaque inside. 

Bowls for the preparation and drinking of yaqona are particularly valued in Fijian society as a central part of public ritual. The deepest bowls are used for serving the drink in traditional welcome ceremonies, during which the honoured guest receives a cup of yaqona. The drink is made by pounding the yaqona root to a powder before combining with water and straining. The cord at the front would be used for hanging up the bowl when not in use.
