North America and Africa

About this space

• America is represented as an American Indian, with a tall headdress of feathers, a bow and arrow, and a wampum necklace. With one hand he shades his eyes while he gazes intently into the distance and the future.

• Africa is represented with a war club and a necklace of the claws of a wild beast.
