This 1727 etching by Abraham Zeeman, titled "Jacht op wilde dieren door de Khoikhoi," depicts a scene of Khoikhoi (also known as Hottentots) hunting wild animals. The detailed engraving showcases a group of Khoikhoi men using bows and arrows, spears, and other traditional hunting tools to subdue a lion. In the background, elephants graze peacefully, illustrating the diverse wildlife of the region. Zeeman's work provides a glimpse into the daily life and hunting practices of the Khoikhoi people during the 18th century.
