content: Coconut leaf basket (poopora) used for carrying quantities of food as from garden to oven or from the oven to home. Typically one would fill basket with taro (example) - men carry on shoulder and women tie onto their back. Made by both men and women, they have a short lifespan. (Per curator Joshua Bell; notes from speaking to Feinberg, Aug 16, 2012.)
