The beauty of the earthenware vessels in which they cook food, 1618. A large cylindrical earthenware pot, with conical base, which rests on a wood fire. The pot contains a liquid mixture, with fish, ears of maize, and probably small fruit. Two Native Indians tend the fire; one holding a wooden spoon, and the other kneeling figure fanning the flames. From Travels through Virginia., Theodor de Bry's 'America', Vol. I, 1590, after a drawing of John White Image taken from Travels through Virginia. [England, 1618]
