Shows a large group of Maori seated and standing on a flat area of land in front of a carved meeting house. There are two large raupo whare further away at the left. The nearer one has steam or smoke rising from it, and may therefore be a whare kai. In the right background is a bushcovered hill and there are cleared hills in the left background, with higher hills in the distance.
There are several dogs, some white and some brown, with the group of people, and a pig stands at the left.
Photographs of the meeting house in the late 1880s show no carved tekoteko or amo figures.
