Three varnished wooden discs, each painted with an abstract portrait in white acrylic. Each portrait represents and is titled after one of the three Tongan royal lines - Tu’i Tonga, Tu’i Ha’atakalaua and Tu’i Kanokupolu. The portraits are inspired by abstract figures found on decorated Tongan pōvai or clubs.
