Description
-
A large group of Indigenous people conduct a religious ceremony. One individual, dressed to reflect several different animals including an owl, snakes, a stag and wildcats, stands on a platform or altar inside a dwelling on the left. Two people offer strands of beads and a branch to this individual. Two other people wearing animal heads sit on altars further inside the building. Some of the Indigenous people sit on the ground inside the dwelling, some dance near the first altar, two play drums, and others arrive at the site in a long, dancing procession. Most of the individuals wear feathered headdresses, beaded jewelry, and other feathered adornments around their necks and waists. This image is identical to one found on page 195 of Frankfurt, 1594.
