content: 'Umeke milo pālewa - Bowl made of milo wood (Thespesia populnea) carved slightly short and wide (pālewa). According to Jamison Ke'a Rosehill, 2024, there are several repairs, including multiple kiki (plug) and poho (patch) repairs and a kepakepa (zigzag) repair at the piko (bottom). Height: 8.25"; diameter at rim: 13". Milo is a favorable wood for carving 'umeke as it is a relatively soft wood and does not attract boring insects.
