This image depicts the first father of the Incas, Manco Capac Inca. He is pictured wearing a feathered head garb and large ear plugs. He is holding a ceremonial ax in his right hand and a parasol in his left. His shirt has three stripes in the middle with distinct shapes on them. The author explains that Manco Capac Inca brought all of Cusco under his control and rule. It is believed that he lived to be 160 years old.
