"Natives Fishing for Giant Clams on the Indus" is a notable engraving that serves as plate 102 within the collection "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" (Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), which is an extensive series depicting various hunting scenes from around the world. This particular plate was engraved by Jan Collaert (1566–1628), a Flemish engraver and printmaker who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The series was published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Phillip Galle) in Amsterdam.

The work is based on a design by Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet), an Italian artist of Flemish origin who was renowned for his diverse subject matter, ranging from religious scenes to exotic and fantastical landscapes. Stradano's designs for the series are celebrated for their dynamic compositions and intricate detailing, which Collaert skillfully translated into engravings.

"Natives Fishing for Giant Clams on the Indus" illustrates an exotic scene that would have intrigued European audiences of the time with its portrayal of distant lands and customs. The engraving captures the moment when indigenous fishermen are engaged in the perilous activity of harvesting giant clams from the Indus River, a historically significant and culturally rich waterway in South Asia.

The "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" series was an ambitious project that aimed to document and disseminate knowledge of the natural world and human interaction with it, reflecting the era's burgeoning interest in exploration, ethnography, and natural history. As such, the works within this collection, including "Natives Fishing for Giant Clams on the Indus," are valuable not only for their artistic merit but also for their contribution to the understanding of cultural and natural diversity during the Age of Discovery.

The engraving is a testament to the collaborative efforts of Stradano and Collaert, whose combined talents created a work that is both a visual delight and a historical document of the period's fascination with the wider world. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of both artists and continues to be studied for its artistic, cultural, and historical significance.
