Caption Ehrenreich 1891 (see lit.): "Karaya. Karaya groups (taken in the last "summer camp" on a river island above the northern tip of Bananal Island). 1. men, two of whom are wearing arm cuffs and knee bandages. One has the small feather rosettes with a central mother-of-pearl disc in his ears (see p. 23). Face painting with soot is recognisable. The straw hat of the older man sitting in the foreground is not the one mentioned on p. 12, but a model borrowed directly from the settlers. In the background two long canoes and further left in the distance the small Araguaya steamer."
