f. 7r., ancestral couple

No elements found.

On this folio, 7 recto, we see an indigenous ancestral couple, with a woman seated on our right and a man standing on our left. The woman wears only a skin for a skirt, extending from her waist to her knees. Her hair is long and flowing, almost to her elbow. She holds an arrow in her left hand, stretching from her knee to above her left shoulder. The man wears an animal skin that is like a skirt with an extension over half the chest and draped from his right shoulder. In his right hand he holds a bow and an arrow. His hair is long and flowing. He has a mustache and a short beard. Both the man and woman are barefooted. Their skin is painted a pinkish tone, but the color palette on this page is otherwise somewhat of an orange-gold, tan, gray, and black. [SW]
