This illustration represents the first indigenous population of Peru, who, according to the author, were believed to have been sent there by God himself after the great flood. Guaman identifies these indigenous people as the Wari Wiracocha Runa. There is a man depicted on the right side of the image making a weapon, and a woman on the right kneeling down. There are words written above the woman’s head which reads Uari Uira Cocha uarm which is Wari Wirachocha Runa, the name of the indigenous people. There are more words written below the man’s feet which reads, en este rreyno de las Yndias. This translates to in this kingdom of the Indies.
