Description
A poupou made of totara. It was originally painted white and black with a kowhaiwhai pattern on the top half and a lower red base area. Over the top it has been painted with acrylic paint, black and white for the kowhaiwhai and red for the lower half. It appears that the front surface was sanded damaging the original paint. The back has been readzed to fit into the site whare at the village. Pine patterns have been added to the sides.
