Description: A large group of Indigenous people are shown clustered in a circle, most kneel or sit on the ground. The group appears to be openly mourning together. At the center of the circle there is a mound of earth surrounded by arrows planted tip first into the ground. A large shell sits on top of the ground. The ceremony is taking place outside the village close to the log fence encircling the village. This illustration is identical to the one found on page 127 of Frankfurt 1591, but colored.
