Description: A group of Indigenous men stand knee-deep in a river. One of the men carries a Spanish man over his shoulders and throws him into the water. Another of the men holds the musket and helmet of the Spaniard. On the far bank, four Indigenous men are now gathered around the Spanish man who lies on the ground, deceased. In the background there are two structures. The group of Indigenous men stands in front of them, gesturing at the deceased Spanish man who lies on the ground at their feet. This image is identical to one found on page 165 of Frankfurt, 1594, but colored.
