In this mural, the Disney character dives into a pile of gold coins, while a colonial illustration of the flora and fauna of the American continent can be seen in the background. This type of illustration usually presents elements out of scale and with motifs that appear monstrous in the eyes of colonizers.
The juxtaposition of images alludes to the popular idea of the Americas as a place brimming with nat- ural wealth, which, from a capitalist and colonialist perspective, is represented as a gold mine.
