- Description
Two women seated and weaving, their work stretched on on sticks on the ground. Kete hanging from the walls of the whare and food parcels hanging down from the ceiling, along with a large bundle of dried flax. A small fire burns outside the whare. The pa is almost certainly Taupo Pa at Plimmerton, visited by the artist in September 1844 and drawn on the other side of this sheet of paper.
