          We have great admiration for the Pākehā expert who painted these images so that they may be viewed by the future generations as an example of what the Māori of old looked like. We sincerely hope the day will come when Māori will acquire this skill as it seems very much akin to the carving work of the Māori, from Kuini WI Rangipupu of Ngāti Ruanui, Hawera, Taranaki and Rangitopeora of Te Atiawa Taranaki
