- Description
Two images. The upper one, based on an original by Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius von Tilnau shows a burial ground in Nuku Hiva with two effigies seated on a raised platform between two sheaves of bound stalks or branches. Two figures stand in the right foreground, and there is a columned shelter or dwelling in the right background, beneath rocky volcanic peaks (cf A-318-034, done in 1804 on Krusenstern's voyage).
The lower image shows a canoe with a triangular sail. There are seven figures on board, the one at the left at the stern using a large paddle to propel the boat.
The lower picture shows some similarities to William Hodges' "Resolution Bay in the Marquesas" of 1777. The Isola Mandana may be the Marquesas, which were discovered by Mandana in the late 16th century. Also compare with A-318-033, "Polinesia - Piroghe delle isole Nuca-iva". [April 1774]
