Description
-
An Indigenous woman is shown from the front. She carries a spear in her left hand and two in her right. Her hair is long, she wears a twisted cord around her neck, and a sword with a curved blade hangs from another cord around her waist. She is nude, and her body is covered in painted designs. 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.
