seated indigenous male with basket

This is a detail, appearing in Book VII, folio 3 verso, of an individual, indigenous male who may be fishing, as a basket appears next to him, and he holds his right hand out as though he may be holding a fishing line, although no pole appears. The basket, outlined in black and washed with a gray paint, may have a rope handle, and it is constructed in such a way that 8-10 horizontal lines appear from top to bottom. The man is also outlined in black and wears what appears to be white-cotton, Spanish-colonial style clothing — probably a shirt and pants. [SW]
mujer indígena sentada con un cesto
Detalle de un hombre indígena sentado a orillas de un río. Puede estar pescando, ya que tiene un cesto a su lado, y parecería estar sosteniendo una linea en su mano derecha (aunque no se ve una caña). El cesto, delineado en negro y coloreado en gris, podría tener una asa de cuerda, y está construido de tal forma que tiene 8-10 lineas horizontales. El hombre está delineado en negro y vestido en lo que parece ser ropa del algodón blaco al estilo colonial (probablemente una camisa y un pantalón).
