Description: Two Indigenous men are shown in the foreground. One is on his knees on top of a disc on the ground, which is surrounded by symbols in the dirt. His upper body is twisted, bent at the midriff with his arms unnaturally stuck out behind him. The other man kneels beside him and watches him. This man has tattoos all over his body, he holds a wooden staff, and around his neck hangs a decorative plate. In the background a large group of Indigenous people stand and watch the two men. They all hold various weapons, including bows and arrows and clubs. To the right stands a group of colonists.
