Description

A head-and-shoulders frontal portrait of Kumeroa. Her hair is cut in a bowl-style, she wears a long drop earring with a tooth, and her chin is tattooed. She is wrapped in a blanket and wears a neck adornment. Hutton describes her as: 'Another young lady of the same people [as Rawe]. The meaning of her name is "a long pull".'
