The King of Cochin by Hans Burgkmair. A black-and-white drawing of a group of men, some shirtless and barefoot, armed with swords, spears, and shields. The men are wearing loincloths or short pants. One man on the left holds a large round shield. A crest or coat of arms is in the upper-left corner with the date 1508 and the initials H and B. The background appears to be a flat, sandy area with scattered shells and some sparse vegetation. The men are posed in a semi-circle, with various weapons at the ready.
