Tomoko - The war canoe.

The Tomoko is the most traditional of all Roviana war canoes, their decorative style sets them apart. Once mostly used in head hunting tribal wars, the Nguzu carried on the bow would indicate if they were coming in war or peace. Each year Munda hosts a carnival at which various villages send their Tomoko to compete.

Here are several pictures of various Tomoko lined up on the shore at Hombupeka.
