Description
-
A European man is held captive inside a Tupinambá village, which is comprised of five long structures arranged in a pentagon and surrounded by a fence. The village is labelled ‘Uwattibi’. The man is shown having his hair cut by a Tupinambá woman in the left, and then on the right he is shown standing in a group of women with a rope tied around his neck. Several Tupinambá women hold both ends of the rope and dance around the man. There are two children present as well, and a monkey and parrot sit on top of one of the buildings on the left.
