About the Item

Two images on one plate. Image 1. Kiwasa: This Idol is placed in the temple of the town of Secotam, as the keeper of the king's dead corpses. Image 2. The God of Wind. Both idols are key to Virginian culture. This print originates from 'Naaukeurige beschryving der godtsdienst-plichten, kerk-zeden en gewoontens van alle volkeren der waereldt.', a Dutch edition or its French edition 'Ceremonies et costumes Religieuses...' , by A. Moubach, 1727-1738 (French edition 1721-1725). An English edition called 'Ceremonies and religious Rites of the various nations of the known world....', appeared in 1733. It was the most elaborate history of world religion published up to that time. The plates in this work were adapted by B. Picart and others from various sources including de Bry.
