ouch

engraving by Theodore De Bry after a painting by Jacques le Moyne (who accompanied a French expedition to Florida in 1564) showing how the Timucua treated the enemy dead. Including breaking bones, severing limbs, shooting arrows into the corpses, and scalping and drying the scalps over a fire.
