Original watercolor by Joseph Jenner Merrett. The hunchbacked person to the right in this powerful picture has a koru loop going up and down by his ear. He is a tohunga of the upper and lower way with his moko identifying him as Te Wairoa, a paramount chief of the Tuhoe and Taranaki tribes. This portrait also shows a good example of buttock tattoo prevalent in some areas at this time. The center man is of a higher rank with a forehead design and can be identified as Waaka Putere of Ngat Kahungunu and Tuwharetoa. Here he is depicted with a jade hei tiki around his neck. The man holding the taiaha is Tainui Hawea of Tranaki and Tuhoe; he has five forehead rays on one side, six on the other. Collection of Mark and Carolyn Blackburn.
