Notes: Taituha stands wearing a korowai-ngore (cloak) with black twisted thrumbs, large blue and small red woollen pompoms over a European blanket and wears a greenstone (nephrite jade) ear pendant. He holds in his hands a poha (pod) used to contain sperm whale oil. Manu is bended attending to a poha. He has a moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo) and is wearing a red European blanket with a pake (rain cape) over the top.
