Description

A scene in a Maori settlement. A number of men perform a haka while others look on. Hutton's description reads: 'A native house near some corn plantations. I went there one day, when hearing that I had never seen a war dance, four or five of the men immediately performed one, but without much spirit, as it requires a great deal of excitement on their parts to be done well.'

Quantity: 1 drawing(s).
