Tiki is wearing a korowai-ngore (cloak) with twisted thrumb fringing along its border and thrumbs that have been scraped and dyed.The child seated is Papuka, a disabled boy and nephew to the paramount chief of Ngati Tuwharetoa, Te Heuheu Tukino (Mananui II). Tao, the girl on the right, wears a string of large blue beads diagonally across her chest, an ear adornment and a folded cloak wrapped around her waist. In the foreground is a gourd used for transporting and storage of water which has Maori tattoo designs.
