Overview
A carved Māori figure, cut off half way through its face by the frame, stands centre right. At the far right are drapes, on the far left is a section of plank with kowhaiwhai painted on it and to the right of this some wooden tree trunks sharpened like palisade uprights. A sign reading "silence" is placed at the top left and a loudspeaker in a box sits on the floor directly below this.
