This culinary utensil consisted of two separate, small sticks, of a dark brown wood, which are laid alongside each other, and held together, close to one of the ends, by one or more narrow rings, which enables the other ends to diverge some centimetres. It was used in Humboldt Bay and in Lake Sentani exclusively to eat sago broth, nas. These forks are carried upon the upper arm as we can see in a photograph reproduced by Sande (Sande, 1907, 8, fig.1).<BR>
