Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: Toea, the daughter of Te Awaitaia (William Naylor) stands wearing a kakahu (cloak) with red woollen pompoms and red and green woolen fringing. Angas notes that the dark purple stripes came from the use of hinau (a natural bark dye). Toea's attendant approaches from between one of the pallisade avenues. He wears a folded garment wrapped around his waist with blue, red and yellow wool fringing. He carries a gourd used for transporting and storing water. The Whaingaroa harbour is in the background.
