| Notes | The figure on the recto shows a black African, wearing Brazilian clothing and carrying an Aztec shield. The shield is very close to a mosaic shield in the Museum für Völkerkunde in Vienna, and this drawing provides the best evidence that that object was part of the group sent back from Mexico by Cortes in 1519. Burgkmair probably knew an anonymous woodcut published in Augsburg in 1505 which shows Tupinamba Indians (from coastal Brazil) wearing feather headdresses and skirts [1] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
