Description
-
The Inca Emperor Atahualpa (Atabalipa) arrives at the city Caxamalca (Cajamarca) in Peru to meet Francisco Pizarro. Atahualpa is carried towards the city on an ornate litter born by four soldiers. He wears a headdress, short-sleeved tunic, and beaded necklace, and carries a scepter fashioned to resemble the sun. He is accompanied by many warriors, who are armed with a combination of spears, clubs, bows and shields. Some of the men wear feathered headdresses and loincloths. The fortified city Caxamalca (Cajamarca) is visible in the background. This image is identical to one found on page 6 (121) of Frankfurt, 1596.
