content: Most Anutans had their ear pieced and women would wear these. In 1972 Feinberg did not see many people wearing these earings. Made from a sea turtle (green or hawksbill turtle). Ponu is the generic term for turtle. Una is the generic term for turtle shell. (Per curator Joshua Bell; notes from speaking to Feinberg, Aug 16, 2012.)
