His intricate loincloth adds to his regal appearance, showcasing the unique cultural attire of his people. The detailed illustration, originally created by Wilhelm Tilesius for Adam Krusenstern's Voyage in 1813, has been beautifully preserved and brought to life through handcolouring by Frederic Shoberl.
