Description: The chosen queen is carried on a litter by four men. Her body is decorated with paint or tattoos, and she wears strands of beads around her neck, arms and legs. Several men in front of the procession play large instruments, and a man walks on either side of the litter each waving a fan beside the queen. Behind the procession several women and men, the women carrying baskets and the men spears. This illustration is identical to the one found on page 117 of Frankfurt 1591, but colored.
