Description

Upper body profile portrait of the Māori warrior chief Te Rangihaeata with moko (facial tattoo) and with 6 huia feathers in his hair, an albatross feather (pōhoi toroa) and greenstone drop (whakakai) earring in his right ear, a flax cloak with taniko border and an outer kiwi feather cloak. There is a strap running from his right shoulder to his waistband and his cloaks hang open to below his waist.

Te Rangihaeata was the only surviving son of Waitohi of Ngāti Toa, and elder sister of Te Rauparaha, and Te Rangikapiki of Ngāti Raukawa. He had one other surviving sibling, his sister Te Rangi Topeora. The other children were killed by Ngāti Pou (Waikato) before Ngāti Toa migrated to Kapiti. Te Rangihaeata was a rangatira (chief) of the Ariki class, the highest ranking class of Māori chief, and a tohunga. He was expert in carving, the recitation of tribal prayers and incantations, and tribal and inter-tribal genealogies. He strenuously resisted European encroachment upon Māori customs and land. He died in 1855.

The third of a series of three portraits done of Te Rangihaeata by Heaphy in 1840. Inscribed - Recto - beneath image: Rangiaeata. 1840; Recto - bottom right: Chas Heaphy
