Bowls such as this were used by the kahuna ana\'ana. In this ritual, he collected hair, spittle, nail pairings, or other items containing the intended victim\'s personal mystical power or mana, and therefore the victim, through the use of prayers or spells. Victims were known to take to their mats, waste away and die; however, one under the spell could seek release and guidance from a healing kahuna. (Brigham 1902:389-390).
