Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. There are two parish priests depicted standing in the image while dressed in their ecclesiastic clothing. They are illustrated swaping the cards they are holding in their hands. They are swapping parish assignments to abuse and punish their native parishioners. The cards read, “tengo hecho a vuestra merced esta p[er]muta” [I have made this exchange at your mercy] and “Permuta de Uayanay y de Santiago” [the exchange of Uayanay and of Santiago].
