Original Watercolour
There are two original watercolours within this frame.

Notes: Te Waru is seated to the left. He is wrapped in kaitaka-ngore (cloak) worn over a European blanket. The cloak is finally woven with a taniko border. The seated figure on his right is Te Pakaru who wears a korowai-ngore (cloak) made with black twisted thrumbs, cylindrical flax tags, and red and blue woollen pompoms. Both men have full moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo). Endorsed with their signatures.
