Description
-
This chapter is dedicated to describing the idols and gods of the Incas. This image depicts the indigenous people of the Condesuyo region in Peru making a sacrifice to their local huaca [deity]. Their deity is depicted on top of the volcano on the left side of the image. The volcano is labeled as coropona [Coropuna]. The people at the base of the volcano are offering their sacrifices to the deity. The kneeling man is offering a twelve-year-old child as his sacrifice, while the person beside him is offering what appears to be a small animal. The caption at the bottom of the image reads en los condes [in Condesuyo].
