In the seventeenth century, English audiences were dazzled by the display of indigenous artwork in London’s theatres. Red and white feather costumes, constructed by indigenous craftsmen out of scarlet ibis feathers, shone on white actors playing ‘Indian’ priests; audiences marvelled at the novel display of an indigenous-made hammock displayed onstage; and actors playing conquistadors lazed in a grotto littered with other ‘Indian rarities’.
