indigenous males with bows and arrows

In this detail we see 17 men dressed in animal skins, many of them carrying bows and arrows as though ready to shoot. Some arrows may also be flying over their heads. The animal skins have stippling to suggest furry hide, possibly with spots (jaguar?), and the animals' ears and possibly part of the face is visible above the foreheads of the men. A “tecuani” was a wild animal that ate people, usually a term reserved for the jaguar. [SW]
