Beskrivning

This chromolithograph documents the material culture of an indigenous group, centering on an adult man standing on a sandy ground near tropical vegetation, holding a spear and wearing a headdress and necklaces. The central figure is surrounded by meticulously numbered illustrations of daily-life objects, including thatched dwellings, various forms of woven baskets and containers, and large-tined farming tools. This visual record was created for the Internationales Archiv für Ethnographie, a journal dedicated to the study and documentation of global ethnology in the late 19th century.
