Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: This papa kainga (home) belonged to Iwakau, brother to the paramount chief of Ngati Tuwharetoa, Te Heuheu Tukino (Mananui II). The front gable of the whare (house) is coloured with kokowai (red ochre) and has a tekoteko which is the carved figure wearing a European hat attached to the apex of the maihi (sloping barge boards). The ware is surrounded by native foliage and steep rocky cliffs which give way to the falls referred to by Angas as 'Ko Waihi'. Iwakau and and his wife are sitting in the front verandah.
