Description
-
Two large groups of Indigenous people have massed in anticipation of war, with fighting breaking out at the far side of the groups. In a clearing at the center of the group on the right, a man holds up an idol – a figure with the head of a bird and talons for feet – that has been attached to the long pole held by the man (similar to a puppet). In front of the idol, a warrior kills another person while reaching out towards the idol. There is a gap in the center of the group on the left as well, where an individual holds a long pole. Most of the warriors are armed with spears, bows and arrows, clubs, and shields. This image is identical to one found on page 139 of Frankfurt, 1595, but colored.
