content: Pana Paka Piti (literally Melanesian shooter) - this bow is made from orange wood (not indigneous to the island; oraniti). Infrequently used by Anuta and made by Pu Aksnima. This bow was made from the one orange tree on Anuta. This is the only bow Feinberg knows of being made on the island. (Per curator Joshua Bell; notes from speaking to Feinberg, Aug 16, 2012.)
