Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.
Notes: Tohi stands wearing two cloaks both made with cylindrical flax thrumbs that have been scraped and dyed black. Scarlet red woollen pompoms line the top border of one and at the bottom border of the second with the addition of twisted thrumbs. In the background is a whare (house) coloured with kokowai (red ochre) which has a tekoteko or carved figure wearing a European hat attached to the apex of the whare (house).
