The image depicts an engraving showing a scene of indigenous people interacting with a large crocodile or alligator. In the foreground, a group of several naked indigenous men are carrying a large log. Their skin is a reddish-brown, and they are muscular. They wear head coverings. Behind them and to their right, a massive, scaly reptile is prominently featured. Its jaws are open, and a stick or spear is positioned between them, possibly indicating a struggle or a hunt. The reptile's scales are depicted in shades of orange and brown, with blue-grey accents along its spine. Its eyes are small and dark. In the background, more figures are visible, some standing and others in a body of water, which appears to be a river or lake. Several figures on the left are wielding clubs or sticks, and some are drawing bows and arrows. The landscape is somewhat barren, with rolling hills in the distance. The overall atmosphere suggests a historical or mythological depiction of indigenous life and encounters with wildlife. This image is displayed in the Museo Bolivariano in La Asuncion, Venezuela.
