Description:
Native Americans worship before an idol in the interior of a temple. The idol, with wings and wearing a feather headdress, has a face on his stomach and goat legs with cloven hooves. It stands on an altar decorated with feathers. In one hand, he holds a flaming torch, in the other, a shield with feathers on it and a branch. Also includes men worshipping before the idol and above the idol, representations of Aztec gods.

notes:
The idol is identified in the text as Tlumacaztli (perhaps Huitzilopochtli?). Thomas Gage, an English Dominican friar, returned to England after several decades in Spanish America, became a Protestant and a principal advisor to Oliver Cromwell. Aveline was one of a large family of 17th- and 18th-century printmakers.
