Reading from left to right, the tribute depicts a
rectangular
grater that is used on the yucca (guayo) root imaged by an s-shaped object.
The grid barbeque, just to the right of the root, cooked the casaba bread
imaged above. A cacique, or chief, is represented between
the barbeque
and a tall guayiga plant that was also part of the tribute. Finally,
a long boat which shipped the casaba bread and
guayiga to the Spanish
camps is depicted.
