Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.
Notes: Ko Tauwhaki, a chief of Tokanu is seated and wears a korowai-ngore (cloak) made with black dyed twisted muka (fibre extracted from flax) thrumbs and fringing and a greenstone (nephrite jade) ear pendant. Ko Teongionga from Te Rapa, a relative of the Ngati Tuwharetoa paramount chief Te Heuheu Tukino (Mananui II) stands to his right. He has white gull feathers in his hair and wears a pake (rain cape) of rough flax that Angas notes as 'peculiar for the area'. In the background is a carved pataka (enclosed and elevated store house) and a palisade fence.
