Description

Shows a scene in the pa at Wanganui. In the right foreground, three cloaked figures sit engaged in wood-carving. To the right of them, several hens scratch in the dirt. In the left foreground a black and white spotted pig sleeps tied to a pole, in front of a bearded cloaked Maori with a child on his back. He stands near a pataka at the far left; this stands in front of a meeting house with carved verandah poles and painted rafters. There are two other pataka in the right background. At the far left are the wooden poles of a palisade fence, and at the far right is a row of rakau huts.
