Description: This chapter is dedicated to describing the idols and gods of the Incas. This image depicts the Inca king performing a sacrifice of a young child to the deity Pachacamac. Pachacamac is depicted in the top left corner of the image looking down to the Inca. There is a fire burning below the deity which is being used to sacrifice the child. There is a woman standing behind the Inca holding a plate of food, which was also sacrificed to the deity. The word Pachacamac is written beside the deity to identify it. The words “en Paria Caca” are written at the bottom of the image to identify where this image is taking place, which is in Pariacaca.
