na toa nukuhiwa 17 May
Nukuhiva (Marquesan) warrior (toa) holding a carved war club ('u'u) and wearing loincloth (maro) of barkcloth (kaku) dyed with turmeric (eka) and wearing the very extensive tattoo patterns that distinguish the region. The shaved head and dual topknot hairstyle is also distinctive of the region, as is the uhikana headband.
