Description:
At top, native Americans (wearing tilmas or indigenous clothes) are suspended from two trees while a devil tries to pull one down with a chain. Each tree has a representation of a crucified man [Christ?] on it. At bottom, native Americans kill martyrs with bows and arrows, stones, knives, and spears.

notes:
This book, a manual of instructions for missionaries to Mexico that described indigenous religious rites and customs, was the first book by a Mexican to be published in Europe. The author gives a firsthand account of the evangelization of Mexico. Image placed horizontally on page. Diego Valades, fl. 1580, is probably the image creator.
