It shows some inhabitants of Kachao (a Portuguese town) and Bissao (now Bissao) preparing manioc root (cassava, yucca). Standing closest to the right, Figure 1 scrapes the manioc root. Sitting at the left, another figure grates it into flour. Behind him and to the right, Figure 3 sifts the manioc flour. According to the key, Figure 4 (the standing figure?) presses the flour into bags, while Figure 5 (center) prepares cassava bread.
