Description
-
This chapter is dedicated to discussing the various celebrations and festivals that would be held in the Inca Empire. This image depicts a festival in which the Inca king would dance and sing for a reddish-brown llama. The llama is depicted on the left side of the image with a rope that’s wrapped around its head tied to a peg in the ground. The words puca llama [reddish-brown llama] are written on the neck of the llama. The letters y-y are written in front of the Inca’s mouth, which are the sounds he would sing to the llama. There is a crowd of people standing behind the Inca who are also participating in the festivities. The caption haucay pata [main square, Cusco] is written at the bottom of the image to identify the location.
