Description
-
This image is reflected in the final chapter of Ayala’s chronicle where he provides a description of labours and festivals that occur in the rural areas of the Spanish colonial Andes during each month of the Inca calendar year. This image depicts the month of July, which was a month of distributing the harvest from the corn and potato fields. The sun is shining in the top right corner of the image. There are three indigenous men illustrated carrying large sacks of their harvest on their backs as they walk into a small hut, presumably to store the harvest until they distribute it. One man is standing in the doorway of the hut as he looks back to the other two men. They have three llamas accompanying them. By their feet are two chickens and a dog eating feed off the ground. The mountainous Andean landscape is illustrated in the background of the image with birds flying over top. The caption written beside the hut reads collca camayoc, despensero [manager of the barns]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads julio, chacra conacuy [july, eighth month].
