Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: Horomoana Maruhau also known as 'Blind Solomon' stands bare feet with a staff in his hand. Once a warrior, he converted to christianity and became a teacher through the Church Missionary Society at Otawhao. He has a moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo) and wears a full length korowai-ngore (cloak) that has predominantly black twisted thrumb and fringing made from muka (fibre extracted from flax).There is a very small amount of red and green woollen fringing along the top.
