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. After discussing powerful lords, the author discusses powerful women and wives to those lords. This image represents the women who were married to the kuraka [lords who oversaw one thousand native tributaries] and pisqa pachaka [lords who oversaw five hundred native tributaries]. The native woman is depicted wearing a long dress and holding a spindle in her right hand. There are words written above her head which identify her as, dona juana guaman chisque. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, prensesas y senoras del rreyno de las yndias llamada nusta [princesses and ladies of the kingdom of the Indies].
