content: LARGE LEAF SHAPED PADDLE WITH A LONG HANDLE ENDING IN A FLATTENED RECTANGULAR GRIP. THE ENTIRE PADDLE IS COVERED WITH INTRICATELY CARVED GEOMETRIC DESIGNS. A NOTE ON THE OLD CATALOGUE CARD STATES THAT THIS CATALOGUE NUMBER WAS ARBITRARILY ASSIGNED TO THIS PARTICULAR PADDLE WHEN IT WAS FOUND WITHOUT A NUMBER IN 1961.

content: FROM CARD: "This specimen and one other Raivavae paddle lacked numbers 6/26/61. The two numbers 3716 and 3717 as shown in the catalog book lack specimens to go with them. No. 3717 has therefore arbitrarily been assigned to this paddle."

content: Disputed location: Ledger says "Friendly Is" and Catalog card says "Raivavae" [Austral Islands].
