Description

Shows a view of a bay with a small wooded island in it. In the centre is a sailing ship (the Iris) with its sails furled. Beyond the ship are two triangular-sailed boats or a double-hulled sailboat. In the left foreground is a canoe containing about seven rowers. In the immediate left foreground at far left are two palm trees on the shore, and other palms are grouped on a low headland at the right.

Numerical inscriptions were made by an Auckland conservator in 1999.
