A bird's-eye view of Cuzco in present-day Peru. Built environment includes walls, temple (showing Atabalipa [or Atahualpa], the last independent Incan ruler, being carried on a litter), and dwellings. At bottom the title of the plan is flanked by men playing a ball game and standing on their heads juggling logs with their feet and by men holding exotic animals [a turkey (?) and bird with a fish tail (lindworm?)] and an idol or god. Also includes golden or precious items and jewels.
