Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: It is not clear which of the two men is Moana and which is Rawiti. The man standing holds a tewhatewha (long handled fighting club). He wears two distinctive cloaks, one on top of the other: the korowai-ngore (cloak) has black twisted thrumbs, red woollen pompoms and a chevron stitched boarder along its edge and is worn underneath the hieke-pokinikini (cloak) which has cylindrical flax tags that have been scraped and dyed black at one end with a red and black border across the shoulders. The man seated against the fortified fence stakes wears a korowai-ngore as well as a greenstone (nephrite jade) hei tiki pendant around his neck and a bunch of blue feathers in his left ear. Both men have a moko (traditional Maori facial tattoo). Moana is written in very light pencil.
