Description: Inca Emperor Atahualpa (Atabalipa) agreed to pay the ransom amount demanded by Francisco Pizarro to secure his freedom. Inca men stream towards the walls of the city Cajamarca bearing gold and silver items, including plates, vases, chests of jewelry, carvings of mythical creatures, and other pieces they have gathered throughout Peru. The Inca people are supervised by several Spaniards on horseback wielding wooden clubs or truncheons.
