Portrait du combat entre les sauuages Toüoupinambaoults & Margajas Ameriquains

Description
-
Two groups of Indigenous people are shown engaged in conflict. Individuals on both sides wield a combination of bows and arrows and clubs as weapons. A few people also carry small shields. Members of both groups wear feathered headdresses and feathered adornments slung around their shoulders and hanging at their backs. In the background behind the warring groups there is an Indigenous village with several people going about their lives. There are two long structures on the right and two hammocks strung between trees. One person lounges in a hammock, another carries firewood. A woman sits on the ground with a child while another child carrying a small bow walks nearby. A monkey also sits near the group. To the left, a rack with several human limbs on it sits over a large fire.
