notes:
Text discusses how the Indians mined for gold by digging in the earth and by using bowls to separate the ore from the gravel in rivers. Appointed supervisor of gold-smelting on Hispaniola in 1514, Oviedo became historian of the Indies. This image is derived from his Coronica dela Indias, Seville, 1535.
