Description

Shows a plain, either in the Waimea area, or more probably in the Motueka Valley, with the Motueka River passing through it. There are felled trees in the foreground, and a Maori food storage storage platform with two levels and curved rat-barriers on its legs. It holds flax kits of food. Mount Arthur (the distinctive conical shape in the centre) and the Tasman Mountains are in the background.

Probably drawn in November 1841
