Description
-
An Indigenous woman is shown from the front. She carries a spear with a ball on the end in her right hand. She wears a belted tunic that is open chested and laces under the breasts. A sword with a curved blade hangs from the belt around her waist. This woman is described as belonging to an Indigenous group that lived near the Picts. The Picts were an Indigenous group who lived in Britain long before the author’s time. Images of Picts were included in this book so that readers could compare their customs to those of the Indigenous people living in Virginia.
