Diorama of a Carib Camp
This diorama shows daily life in a settlement of Caribs, one of Suriname’s original population groups. The men are building a hut or returning from hunting, the women tend to the food and children. On the right, they make bread from cassava, a root vegetable. Baskets are brought ashore from the korjaal, a boat. The woman standing under the roof at the right may be a Maroon, who had fled from one of the plantations.
