Description: Head and shoulders portrait of a man with moko on the lower half of his face, wearing a shark's tooth earring. This drawing was initially attributed by Library staff to Richard Laishley.

It is signed by Robley and the artist has added the iwi name Ngaiterangi and corrected the date 1865 to 1866. This same image is reproduced in Robley's book "Moko or Maori Tattooing" (London, 1896) as plate 122 on p. 123. The style of the drawing is that of Robley.
