An Indigenous village is shown, full of fantastical creatures. In the center of the scene an Indigenous person speaks with two European men. A large hairy creature stands to the left of the three. In the foreground on the left an individual holding a bow emerges from a building. In the center another person lays on the ground with a horned, humanoid creature leaning over them. To the right two more individuals run from another of the horned creatures. There is a ship and a large creature in the water near the coast on the right, and further up the coast a person chases after a large winged creature. There are several structures in the background.
