Native Americans along the coast of Panama
Native Americans along the coast of Panama pour molten gold into the throat of a tied-up Spaniard. The torture retaliated against the relentless European greed for gold. In background Indians butcher and roast human limbs. This 1585 engraving published by Theodor de Bry is based on an image in Girolamo Benzonis, Historia del Mondo Nuovo, Venice, 1565
