The Virgin, sustained and flanked by cherubim, is elevated over a global representation of the Earth, showing South America and Peru.  The Devil, standing on a rock, symbolic of a huaca or sacred space, if not divinity, in Andean cosmology, and the colla or ñusta appear to be engaged in conversation.
