Description:
Father Juan de Ribas sits surrounded by native Americans in front of a native temple. Native priests sacrifice a victim and hand the victim's heart to their idol while Father Francisco Jiménez, holding a painting of the crucifx, tries to interfere with the sacrifice. The other sacrificed victims are thrown down the steps of the temple. In the background at left, natives carry baskets with produce and, at right, natives cook one of the sacrificed humans. Includes dwellings, bows and arrows.
