Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.
Notes: Te Heuheu Tukino (Mananui II), paramount chief of Ngati Tuwharetoa, is seated on the left. He wears a greenstone (nephrite jade) hei tiki pendant around his neck, greenstone ear pendants in both ears and a cluster of blue feathers in the right. He also holds a prized mere pounamu (greenstone hand club) noted by Angas as 'the largest he had seen'. He is wrapped in a korowai-ngore (cloak) made with dyed twisted thrumbs. Te Heuheu Tukino's younger brother, Iwakau, is seated behind him to the right on a rock. Iwakau wears huia (Neomorpha Gouldii, bird) feathers in his hair and a black and yellow tihetihe. Both men have moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo). Part of the palisade fencing can be seen in the background along with a waka tete (fishing canoe) on the lake and people at the shore.
