Powhatan is standing directly behind Smith with his left hand, holding a calumet, raised to stay the execution. A Native standing to the left is identified as "Namontake." Another Native is standing in the center background with two horses, leaning on the back of one that is marked with the design of a hand, he is holding a weapon. Standing behind Opechancanough is another Native holding a large club. There is a cluster of Natives, mostly women, in the background on the right.
