f. 6r., indigenous man standing

In this detail, the man has long flowing hair, beyond his shoulders. He wears a white cloth garment that is largely skirt-like but has a band of cloth going over his left shoulder. He gestures with his right hand, the arm bent at the elbow. In his left hand he holds a cane, perhaps meant as an early symbol of his authority. [SW]
