Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: There are three children: two standing and one sitting. Powharo, on the left, stands bare foot with red flowers in her hair, a greenstone (nephrite jade) ear pendant and wrapped in a kaitaka-ngore (cloak) that has a taniko border with a chevron pattern. Her sister Rangiteriwi also known as Juliana is seated and wears a similar kaitaka-ngore, a shark tooth ear pendant and a long feather in her hair. Their brother, Taraunahi, stands on the right and wears a pake (rain cape) which is a heavier garment made of undressed flax. In the background is palisade fencing surrounding a whare (house).
