The left half of the page shows a wooden dwelling house thatched with raupo with a fence, a gateway, and an unusually long ridgepole. Below it is the end of another house (a cooking house) made of wood with a tekoteko (carved figurehead) at the top of its ridgepole. Both buildings are at Tu Kaitohe or Kaitoke Pa, Te Wherowhero's pa at the foot of Taupiri Mountain, Waikato
The right side of the page shows at the top, two figures seated opposite one another and crying (the tangi or crying match). Below they are 'pressing noses' (hongi) and at the bottom of the page, they are hugging. Beside them is a sketch of a pole, three feet long, with white feathers 'wound into scarlet things'. The groups of people are copied from drawings by J. J. Merrett.
