201 x 151 mm. A view showing the priest, or 'Tohunga' (a word basically meaning an expert, of which there are several classes), standing in front of the decorated inner wall of the meeting house. The rafters are painted in a typical Maori motif (probably in red, black and white), while the walls are constructed of lattice 'tukutuku' panels forming a geometric decoration. |
