f. 10v., indigenous men standing

These two standing men, wearing white cotton clothing typical of the Spanish colonial period, would have been local indigenous dignitaries. The shading in gray represents an adopted European stylistic. They both wear sandals. These men were meeting with a higher local dignitary to discuss the establishment of the provisioning of tributes by the local commoners. Part of the tributes would stay with these men, part of the tributes would go to the Spanish colonial authorities. This may be an imagined scene, looking back from ca. 1700 upon the kinds of events from the mid-sixteenth century that occurred when communities got official recognition and town councils were formed.
