Honolulu 445 (W, RR 14)

This little fragile piece of a tablet lies inside a framed glass case in Bernice P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu.

It is not known whether there are glyphs on the backside.

Barthel has no picture of this object.

'While surveying Rapa Nui in 1886 with Naval Cadet C. M. McCormick as his assistant, Lieut. F. M. Symonds of the USS Mohican acquired this fragment of a rongorongo tablet...'

It was given to Mrs Walter M. Gifford of Honolulu in the same year and thereafter donated to the museum. (Fischer)
