Scope and Contents

The illustrated manuscript depicts a local elite, Don Carlos Guevara, and his family. The unknown author uses intensely vulgar language to express his disdain for Guevara and his family, whose circumstances have recently changed and left them in poverty. The image shows a demonic, goat-like man with wings holding a hammer, with a Spanish banner streaming behind him as he rides a horse, which appears exhausted and abused. The demonic man appears to wield the hammer at an indigenous man and woman surrounded by chickens. The man and woman appear angry with the demonic man.
