Featured on PDR in the collection Paramaribo and the Plantation: Gerrit Schouten’s Dioramas of Suriname (1810–30)

Beneath a thatched roof, five women prepare cassava, chicken milling at their feet. A blue parrot perches nearby, craning its neck toward the workers. One of the women has darker skin than the others, with close-cropped curly hair. She may be a Maroon, an escapee from slavery who found refuge among the local population, and the others are indigenous people of Suriname, probably Arawak.
