Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: Pori stands wearing a corse pake (rain cape) made from unprepared flax. She wears a large tuft of white gull feathers in her left ear. Her bottom lip is tattooed and the markings on her cheeks are a sign of mourning. Rangi is seated and wears a greenstone (nephrite jade) ear pendant. She is wrapped in a korowai-ngore (cloak) made with thrumbs that have been scraped and dyed and black twisted thrumbs. A whale vertebra is used in the fortified fence. A pataka (enclosed and elevated store house) can be seen in the background. In the foreground is a gourd used for transporting and storing water.
