I tāia tēnei pikitia e Lindauer i te tau 1915, e whakaatu ana i te rangatira o Ngāti Maniapoto e tāia ana e te uhi ki te moko. E mau ana te tohunga tā moko i te uhi ki tōna ringa mauī, ā, kua toua e ia te mata ki te waingārahu. E tākaia ana tōna matimati ki te rito o te harakeke hei ūkui i te toto. Kei tētahi atu ringa ko tōna māhoe. Kei te taha mauī ko tētahi kaumātua e karakia ana hei whakamāheahea i te tangata whiwhi.
