Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: This house is an example of simpler earlier architecture. A koruru (carved head) representing an ancestor is placed in the middle of the barge board that spans the porch. On each end of the barge board are carved spirals and beaked manaia (guardians). The amo (upright support post) which supports the barge board are carved figures. The house has a thatched roof and palisade posts.
