Description: A tall rack is shown built over a large fire. The rack is composed of four upright logs with forks in the top ends. Two smaller logs are stretched between each pair of upright logs, and multiple small logs are stretched across those, forming a grill. Fish and small game, including a lizard, snake, and small deer are laid on top of the grill. Beside the rack are two Indigenous men. One kneels and fans the flams under the rack while the other holds a small animal.
