E-2Description
A fish trap anchor made of wood and plant fibers. The plant fibers have been woven together and braded to form a rope, which is slightly fraying, and tied around the anchor. The anchor itself has a small, bored hole on one side, and two small scratches, probably due to handling. A very light anchor, it is possible this might have been made of tourists.Use
Possibly used in the capture of fish, in conjunction with a fish trap.Collection
