Korere (feeding funnel) (religious object; Unknown; 1700-1850; Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Wellington, Welling...; OL000135)

Note: Korere are believed to be feeding funnels used primarily to pass mulched or pureed food to men of rank whose mouths were swollen from the ta moko (Maori customary tattooing) operation when applied to the mouth area. Or korere may have been used more generally to pass food and liquids to men of high rank, or tohunga (experts) under tapu (sacred) restrictions. Korere are thought to originate from the Hokianga-Northland region and generally attributed to the Ngapuhi tribes.
