Description: This image depicts the arrival of a Spanish pastoral inspector who is illustrated riding on his horse on the left side of the image. He is wrapped in a cloak and is wearing a hat. He is looking down at the man kneeling before him. The kneeling man is a parish priest who obediently greets the inspector as he arrives. He is illustrated holding a book. There are two indigenous men standing behind the parish priest holding ceremonial banners to welcome the inspector. One banner is intricately decorated and has a cross at the top, while the other is a smaller flag banner.
