Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.

Notes: On Angas's journey he was hosted by Chief Haimona (Simon), his wife and daughter Ramari. Ramari stands holding an infant in her arms. Her lips are tattooed and has markings on her face. Worn like a cloak, Ramari is wrapped in a European blanket. Behind is a whare (house) and stakes from a fortified fence. Two women sit on the gound. One of these women with her back turned is wearing a korowai-ngore (cloak) with black twisted thrumbs and the other a korowai-ngore with the addition of red and blue woollen pompoms and red stitching.
