content: Iri (fan) plaited (raaranga) from coconut leaf from Pu Paone. Used by men and women (Feinberg was not clear if one sex makes or both). These are personal objects - people would walk around with the fan in their waistcloth. People would use to get flies and mosquitoes that land on one's back and they are used keep flies away from your food (Bell notes from speaking to Feinberg 8/16/12)
