Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image depicts a crest that has the initials of Jesus and Mary which would have been on the doors of inns in Colonial Peru. The author explains that he suggested a motto should be written underneath these initials which would read, temed, cristianos, a dios y a la justicia y no tengays soberbia y no llameys a la justicia para que seays castigados [Christians, fear God and Justice, do not be proud, and do not call the justices, so that you will not be punished].
