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 cicaque [native lord] standing on the left side of the image taking his hat off to greet the Spanish corregidor [magistrate] on the right side of the image. There is a native commoner kneeling on the ground while looking up at the corregidor as he holds out his tribute (which appears to be a bad of money or food). There is dialogue written on the page which reads, cayllata senor corregidor ricuchicomuyqui chasquipullauay [Lord magistrate, I’ve come to give you these things, please receive it]. The corregidor replies, por que no trays buenas gallinas y capones y carneros a buestro corregidor, bos me lo pagarés por éstas [Why don’t you instead bring me good chickens, capons, and llamas?].
