Description: This seems to be one of the Masabe dances for both men and women- connected with the worship or propitiation of souls or spirits called Masabe. The difference between the two does not appear to be clear cut but the Tonga recognize a number of spiritual entities which are connected with their respective Sabe dance. Masabe dance with 2 drums, hand beaten, pegged, 1 goblet (-14.5101-), 1 cylindrical.
