Description: An Indigenous man and woman cook food in a large earthen pot over a fire. The woman holds a ladle, and the man kneels on the ground and fans the flames under the pot. Inside the pot a fish is identifiable, amongst other foods. Both individuals wear a fringed garment tied around their waist, and the man has a single feather in his hair.
