500 ## - GENERAL NOTE
General note The wooden kava kumete was carved from a single piece of black wood, probably from the toa tree, Casuarina equisetifolia, It has a wide, smooth rim and four legs. The rim has mother-of-pearl inlay and intricate craving. The kava is made in the kumete from the dried roots of the Piper methysticum mixed with water. It is then strained for drinking. The drink is consumed both in ceremonial and recreational contexts. Kava ceremonies play an integral part in Tongan society. They range from informal faikava to the formal taumafa kava.
