notes:
This image is derived from Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 2, pt. 2, plate 19, and describes how the widow of a man killed in warfare cuts her hair and scatters it on the grave of her husband along with his weapons and drinking shells. Widows are forbidden to remarry until their hair grows long enough to cover their shoulders. The artist may be Bernard Picart, 1673-1733, a French painter, draughtsman, and engraver, who also worked in the Netherlands.
