indigenous man standing (colonial attire)
This is a detail, appearing in Book V, folio 4 recto, of an indigenous man standing, probably don Miguel de Santa María. He is wearing sandals and knee-length, loose-fitting, white-cotton Spanish-colonial style pants and a long-sleeved tunic. He also wears a cloak tied at the right shoulder over his tunic, a symbol of his high status. He is outlined in black, and his skin is washed with a flesh-tone watercolor. Some black ink has spilled in the vicinity of his right eye. A worm hole appears just below his left elbow. A small brown “x” appears on his right arm, just below the shoulder. His hair reaches to his shoulders and appears to turn under at the bottom. He has a pencil-thin mustache and a goatee. He is gesturing with his right hand, suggestive of some degree of authority, as does the stick that he holds, probably a staff of office. [SW]
un hombre indígena de pie (era colonial)
Detalle de un hombre indígena de pie, probablemente don Miguel de Santa María, usando sandalias y vestido con pantalones de algodón blanco hasta las rodillas y túnicas mangas largas. Vestido también en una capa alrededor de su cuello como símbolo de status social alto. Su figura está delineada en tinta negra, y pintada con acuarelas semejantes al color de su piel. Se ha derramado algo de tinta negra en los alrededores de su ojo derecho. Hay un agujero causado por un gusano justo debajo de su hombro izquierdo. Una pequeá “x” café aparece en su brazo derecho, justo debajo de su hombro. Su pelo llega a los hombros y parece ser ondulado. Posee un bigote fino y una perilla. Está gesticulando con su mano derecha, sugieriendo cierto grado de autoridad al igual que el bastón que sostiene, por lo que probablemente es un representante del gobierno.
