After the conquistadors had murdered Capac Apo Guaman Chaua, a noble lord second in command to the Inca, the people of the Inca Empire rose and rebelled against the Spaniards to defend their kingdom. This image depicts Manco Inca sitting on his elevated usno [throne] in the centre of the image with his loyal troops surrounding him. They are all carrying spears and shields as they prepare to face the Spaniards. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, trono y aciento del ynga, llamado usno, en el cuzco [throne and seat of the Inca, called usno, in Cusco].
