This woodcut print titled "Triumphal songs for August, the month of turning the soil" by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala transports us to a vibrant scene in ancient Peru. The artwork is part of a larger collection called "The New Chronicle and Good Government" which beautifully depicts various aspects of Incan life. In this particular image, we witness an enchanting celebration of agriculture and harvest.

The sun shines brightly overhead, casting its warm rays on the farmers who diligently work with their chakitaqlla tools. The woodcut captures not only the physical labor involved in farming but also highlights the spiritual significance attached to it. This ritualistic act symbolizes a deep connection between humans and nature, emphasizing gratitude towards Mother Earth for her bountiful gifts.
