Description: This image depicts a Dominican friar forcing an indigenous woman to weave. The woman is sitting down with her legs straight in front of her as she weaves at her loom which is hanging from a nail. The woman has tears running down her face while her small child is wrapped on her back. The friar is illustrated pointing to the loom as he orders her to work and weave clothing and bedspreads. The author criticizes the Dominican friars for abusing their powers against the indigenous peoples of Peru and for not fearing God and justice.
