After the execution of a captive, the Tupinambá prepare to dismember the body. On the left a man lays on the ground with a woman, who appears distressed, supporting his head. A man stands beside them holding the ceremonial club used in the execution of the man. To the right the body has been laid out on face down and a group of women clusters around to begin the dismemberment. A pot has been set on a fire near the women.
