Description
-
The author explains that there were ten paths for women to follow in the Inca Empire based on age division. This second group was called the payacona [old women]. These were women who were fifty years old who weaved clothing for the common people. The woman in the image is depicted kneeling as she weaves at a loom which is strapped around her back. The caption written on the image reads “de edad de cincuenta años muger que cirue al prencipal,” which translates to “fifty-years old, woman who serves the nobles.”
