Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: Two children sit whilst one child stands in front of a waka tiwai (river canoe) resting on the river bank. Fern tree bracken is spread in the hull for comfort. On the ground between the children is a hoe (paddle). The child standing and the child seated on the waka tiwai both wear korowai-ngore (cloak) made with red, green and blue woollen pompoms, twisted black thrumbs and fringing. The child seated on the waka tiwai wears a necklace of blue beads and is wrapped in a korowai-ngore with black twisted thrumbs and fringing.
