notes:
[bottom] Text describes how hunters would gather at dawn and carry an idol to the top of a hill. Around the hill they would place netting and light fires. Then they would blow horns and frighten deer, foxes, and hares which would then be shot by arrows or caught by hand. This image is derived from Theodor de Bry, America, part 9, [part 3], plate 6.
