This tablet was used by Bishop Jaussen for the first systematic attempt at translating the rongorongo texts. His work in collaboration with Metoro resulted in the 'Jaussen List' of glyphs.

The tablet is carved on what seems to be driftwood (Lauraceae).

Pictures (Barthel):

One of the sides has 10 rows, the other 12 rows. The name Aruku Kurenga is probably derived from 'a Roko ko Renga = 'of Roko the Fair'. Possibly this person is mentioned in a note from Jaussen about 'Arukukurenga de Tongariki' who died in the Peruvian labour raids.
