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 waranka kuraka [an administrator who oversees 1,000 tributary natives in his town]. He is illustrated standing while wearing short trousers, a tunic, and a cloak that is draped over his shoulders. He is holding a long staff in his right hand. The waranqa kuraka was responsible for ensuring there was enough native workforce in the mines and collecting their tribute. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, en este rreyno [in this kingdom].
