This intriguing engraving by Theodor de Bry captures a Native American council meeting in Florida, vividly illustrating their decision-making process. At the centre, a man with arms outstretched presides over the gathering, while others sit on a bench, passing a shell from which they drink. In the foreground, three women prepare a liquid mixture by boiling and stirring, adding an essential dimension to the scene.
