Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: Tariu lost his right eye in fighting against Wanganui. He has a moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo), a tuft of white feathers in his right ear and greenstone (nephrite jade) pendant in his left ear. Tariu sits wrapped in a kakahu (cloak) with black and yellow tags over a European blanket. He has a pipe in his mouth. His wife Pori lies to the right of Tariu and wears a korowai-ngore (cloak) with black twisted thrumbs and fringing. She has a tuft of white feathers in her left ear, a single white feather in her hair and tattooed lips.
