notes:
The text describes people in Veraguas, Panama, especially their clothing and ornaments. The ornaments are so heavy that women carry some of them in baskets. Some of the ornaments lie in the foreground and include men's and women's nose rings and other ornaments. This image is taken from Lionel Wafer's image of the same name where he describes the Cuna people of present-day Panama. In his New voyage and description of the isthmus of America, London, 1699, Wafer identified the chief or cacique of the Cuna named Lacenta, and said he was his friend and protector.
