[Method of starting a fire of the Indigenous Brazilians]
-
Description
-
An Indigenous man wearing a feathered headdress and ornament at his back starts a fire by twirling a long stick against a log on the ground. Another man, also wearing a feathered headdress and carrying a bow, watches and smokes a cigar (or similar item). Several women and children are also amongst the group, including a small child carried in a basket on a woman’s back and another child who carries a miniature bow and kneels on the ground to watch the fire starting. This illustration is a simplified and mirrored version of the one found on page 101 of Paris, 1557.
