Description
-
This image depicts a native official trying to confiscate an old native man’s llama for tribute. The old man is depicted holding on to his llama’s back with his right hand and the llama’s neck with his left hand as he tries to prevent the official from taking it. He has tears running down his face. The official is standing on the right side of the image holding the rope tied to the llama as he tries to take it away. The old man’s dialogue written on the left side of the image reads, Manam tazayoccho cani. Pasasca machum. Chacrayca, uacica, llamayca machuypa yayaypa saquiscanmi. Testamentopi saquiuan [I am not taxable. I am already old. The fields, my house and my llama are what my father left me, he left me these things in his will].
