Description: Five Indigenous people in a large dugout canoe paddle near the coast in what is likely either the Caribbean Sea of the Gulf of Paria. Two individuals paddle on the left and two on the right, while the person in the back sits elevated and guides the canoe. The hilly coastline is visible in the background. This image is identical to one found on page 5 of Venice, 1565.
