Territorial Duel between Botocudo Men, Bahia: A Handcolored Lithograph from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures (circa 1835-1840) This handcolored lithograph depicts a territorial duel between two Botocudo men from the region of Bahia, Brazil, South America. The Botocudo people, also known as the Botocudos or Botocudos of River Belmonte, were an indigenous tribe known for their distinctive customs, costumes, and fierce warrior spirit. The image shows two Botocudo men locked in a wrestling match, each trying to assert dominance over the other. The duel, a territorial dispute, may have been a means of resolving conflicts between neighboring tribes or clans. The men are depicted in their traditional attire, adorned with feathers, body paint, and various ornaments. Stickfighting was a common practice among the Botocudo people, and this duel may have been a form of this martial art. The men use long, wooden sticks as weapons, striking each other with precision and force. The duel takes place near a river, possibly the River Belmonte, which was an essential source of life for the Botocudo people. The Botocudo people were known for their violent resistance to European colonization and enslavement. This image, created during the early 19th century, provides a glimpse into their culture and way of life before the encroachment of European influence. This lithograph is from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, a significant ethnographic and anthropological work that documented various peoples and their customs from around the world. The handcolored lithograph adds an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable historical document and an intriguing work of art.
