Description: A group of Indigenous men, women, and children gather around two large pots, one sitting on the ground and one resting on a fire. The group cooks and eats meat and fish. Two individuals and a child sit in a large hammock while the rest sit and stand on the ground around the pots. One structure is visible in the background. This illustration is a simplified and mirrored version of the one found on page 57 of Paris, 1557.
