Description:
A large hunting net hung up in a tree to show its size, with another on the ground beside it.
It consists of a large hoop of flexible wood approximately 3 or 4 metres in diameter with netting spread across it, and was probably used to trap larger game by driving them into it or by dropping it upon the animal to trap it before spearing.
