Description: Shows a warrior with moko on his face and right shoulder, and with "puhuro" tattoo (ie moko paeturi) on his thigh, in grass skirt, performing a haka, holding a taiaha in his right hand. He grimaces with the tongue extended. Behind him is a palisade fence (of Maketu Pa), and a gateway made of an old canoe set up and carved, with a large painted head showing the "moko" of the tribe. (This description of the gateway is taken from a description of a very similar work described in Sotheby's auction catalogue, 15 February 1990, lot 120). Gateway in imitation of a human portrait is unusual. However, it is thought that this gateway is now in Auckland Museum. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - H. G. Robley; Recto - bottom left - [Title] Similar to other Robley works. See file print of work in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales.
