Description
-
The author explains that there were ten paths for men to follow in the Inca Empire based on age division. This second path is called the puric macho [old man who walks], which was for people who are over the age of sixty and are exempt from military services. Their duties included working in fields and carrying straw and firewood. This image depicts an older man walking with a load of wood strapped over his back and a dog walking by his feet. The caption at the bottom of the image reads de edad de sesenta años pasado de tributo que cirue a los principales which translates to sixty years old, exempt from tribute one who serves the nobles.
