Imported from Fiji, this coconut sennit (magimagi) cordage has been used throughout Polynesian history. It's durability and practical uses have dated back to even before the use of western nails.

It's uses are numerous. From lashings decorating building beams, to adornments around chiefs necks, this island craft has been an integral part in Fijian and Polynesian culture thoughout history.
