Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the descendants of the Inca and Andean nobles under Spanish colonial rule in Peru and their importance to a revived Andean society. This image depicts a native official who was responsible for overseeing five tributary natives in his pueblo of Chipau. He is depicted standing in front of a building while wearing traditional attire with an embroidered tunic and a head piece. He is also illustrated holding a rosary in both hands. The author explains that this official was a mitima [a person who permanently resided outside of the town he administered]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, tributario y cabildo, no tiene don que no falte cinco yndios tributarios [tributary council, he who lacks five Indians does not have a title].
