Notes: Muriwenua stands wrapped in a rich brown and striped kahu kuri (dog skin cloak) worn over a European blanket. He has a moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo) and holds a taiaha (long club fighting staff) decorated with kaka (parrot) feathers. In the background is a pa (fortified village) alongside a harbour with a pataka (enclosed and elevated store house) and beached waka (canoe).
