A figure walks in from the left bearing a laden pole over his left shoulder. There is a coconut palm at the far left, and high jagged hills in the distance.

The lower image, from an original by William Hodges, shows four figures, a woman on the left, standing with a spear, a man standing with a taiaha, and a woman seated at the right with an infant on her back.
