Original Watercolour
There is one original watercolour within this frame.
Notes: Two children stand wrapped in korowai-ngore (cloak) that largely feature the black dyed twisted thrumbs. The boy on the left has a blue ear adornment and his cloak has the addition of pompoms while the smallest boy to the right also has thrumbs that have been scraped and dyed black. The pair are surrounded by native foliage and the snow cape Mount Ruapehu can be seen in the distance. Endorsed with their own signatures.
