- The engraving depicts various tribes, dances with weapons, boats, festivals, etc.
- In the upper margin is the title "ETHNOGRAPHY", and in the upper right-hand corner is printed "Lam. 16", which identifies it as engraving number 16 in a series on ethnography.
- In the lower margin are the identifications of the different tribes, instruments, etc., as well as the imprint "Gras y Compañía. Editors. Madrid".
- Intaglio etching on steel, although another technique could also have been used.
- Made in black monochrome tone, very well inked, centred with acceptable margins and with a good stamping.
- It is very important that the engraving has a distinctive mark, mark or contrast in order to be able to identify data such as the engraver, the artist, the place where it was printed and other details.
