Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: Hongi Hongi also known as Toki stands in bare feet wrapped in two cloaks: a korowai-ngore (cloak) made with black twisted thrumbs and black and red woollen pompoms is worn over the top of a kakahu (cloak) with a yellow base and fringing which has red and bue woollen pompoms. Hongi Hongi has a moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo) and wears a greenstone (nephrite jade) ear pendant. In his right hand he holds a mere pounamu (greenstone hand club). Behind him are palisade posts from a fortified fence.

On the reverse side of the watercolour is a sketch of a Maori tattoo and notes.
