Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the descendants of the Inca and Andean nobles under Spanish colonial rule in Peru and their importance to a revived Andean society. This native official is dressed in an embroidered tunic with a cloak draped over his shoulders while he holds his bag in his left hand and a rosary in his right. These officials were responsible for overseeing a certain number of native tributaries in their pueblos. The administrator in this image was responsible for overseeing ten natives. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “tributario y cabildo, no tiene don que no le falte dies yndios tributarios” [tributary council, he who lacks ten Indians does not have a title].
