It stands upright with markings on the front resembling the indentation of a large head, shoulders, and back. Oral traditions suggest that Tu’i Tu’itatui (the eleventh Tu’i Tonga) often sat against the Maka Fa’akinanga, using a staff to keep people at a safe distance, fearing assassination attempts.
