Kava cup

In Fijian traditions and ceremonies, a kava cup, also called a bilo, is used to serve kava and yaqona. The Samoan name for this cup is tauau or generally, ipu tau ava. It is called "apu" in Culture of the [Native Hawaiians|Hawaii].
The coconut shell cup used for distributing the 'ava in a ʻava ceremony is made from the half shell of a ripe coconut that has been cleaned and polished. It is sometimes ornamented with different designs, and after early European contact it was sometimes decorated with inlaid silver.
