Description: An Indigenous man is shown from the front. He carries a spear with a ball on the end in his right hand. He wears a belted tunic, and both a round shield and a sword with a curved blade hangs from the belt around his waist. This man is described as belonging to an Indigenous group that lived near the Picts. The Picts were an Indigenous group who lived in Britain long before the author’s time. Images of Picts were included in this book so that readers could compare their customs to those of the Indigenous people living in Virginia.
