Description
-
A group of Spaniards, one of whom is Diego Guttierez, governor of Costa Rica, share a meal with several Indigenous leaders, called Caciques. The group dines in a large structure with a canopy bed in one corner, two dining tables and wooden chairs. Several pieces of armor and weaponry have been hung on a rail near the bed. At the table, three Indigenous men wearing capes of feathers and necklaces (the Caciques) sit in chairs, while three more Indigenous men sit on the floor, one beside each leader. One of the Caciques passes meat to the man near him on the floor, who in turn feeds it to a dog. This image is identical to one found on page 145 of Frankfurt, 1595.
