John White's "Indian Charnel House" is a significant watercolor painting created in the late 16th century, specifically around 1585-1586. John White was an English artist and early settler who is best known for his detailed and vivid depictions of the indigenous peoples and landscapes of the New World. His works provide some of the earliest visual records of Native American life and culture, particularly those of the Algonquian-speaking tribes in what is now North Carolina.

The "Indian Charnel House" painting is part of a series of illustrations White produced during his time as part of Sir Walter Raleigh's expeditions to the Americas. This particular artwork depicts a structure used by Native Americans for the storage of bones and remains of the deceased, a practice that was part of their funerary customs. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, capturing the architectural elements of the charnel house, as well as the surrounding environment.

White's work is invaluable for its ethnographic content, providing insights into the burial practices and spiritual beliefs of the indigenous populations he encountered. The "Indian Charnel House" is not just an artistic endeavor but also an important historical document that offers a glimpse into the cultural practices of Native Americans during the period of early European exploration and colonization.

The painting is currently housed in the British Museum, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration. It stands as a testament to John White's skill as an artist and his role as an early ethnographer, whose works have contributed significantly to our understanding of early Native American life and the impact of European contact.
