. Memoirs of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History. Natural history; Ethnology. Forms of Ptko, 117 PiKO G (Fig. 123) is shown with a quadrupled cord forming the ring. After doubling the cord twice, the ball cord is tied with a simple knot around c and a at e^ and leaving a loop aty^ two half hitches are run around or slipped over b and d as shown at^, h and/. In the speci- men figured the ring was joined by passing b and d through c and tying a to the latter. Then the loops b and d together were used for the first knot of the hanai. PiKO H (Fig. 124).—After be- ing looped at b and tied at <f, two half hitches are taken around the base of b leaving a loop at d. Then the ball cord is passed behind and around b (see/) and the loop g slipped through the loop thus made. At //, the last loop of the piko, an additional half hitch is slipped over b after the loop has been FIG. 110. IMKO A, HANAI V. PiKO J (Figs. 125 and 126) is simpler than F and one step further on than H. In the specimen taken as an example and figured, Fig. 125, the piko could have been as easily made with one piece of cord, by run- ning y on as a^ as with two, A de- tached cord is bent double at 2. Then the ball cord is passed around X and y and over the free end a^ to begin the work, and back under x and y. Following this a loop is made (seeflf), twisted round and slipped through the loop b thus left, and the work continued with the ball cord e. In the example figured, the ring was joined by passing x through z and tying with y, when x and y were concealed in the first hanai knot. Fig. 126 has the end cord wound once around the base of the loops as referred to in the paragraph on Piko Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum.
