Examine the Closer Look of "Folding Screen with Indian Wedding and Flying Poll." Which features of the work demonstrate the syncretism of Christian and Native traditions? Detail the origins of the biombo
What will be an ideal response?
There are Spaniards and Indians present in the scene, identified by their costumes. The overall theme of the work shows a church and the wedding party surrounded by the local dance; a clear merging of traditions. A biombo is a folding screen and the term derived from a Japanese word. The introduction of the object and term comes from the legendary Spanish and Portuguese traders who plied the Pacific.
