It wascustomary also to bury along with them one or two of their best belovedwives, and on this occasion the honour was frequently contested among thewives of the deceased, unless when the husband had previously settled whowere to be chosen to accompany him in the tomb. Two or three youths oftheir train, and all their gold and silver-plate used also to be buriedalong with them; all of which was done in the hope of one day rising againfrom the dead, and that they might then appear in proper styl...e, accompanied by their wives and servants. When the Spaniards broke up thesesepulchres on purpose to take possession of their buried treasures, thePeruvians requested of them not to disturb the bones of the dead, thatthey might not be hindered in their resurrection. In the burial ceremony, the relations of the deceased used to pour some of the liquor formerlymentioned, named _Chica_, into the grave, of which a portion was conveyedby some hollow canes into the mouth of the dead person. On the top of thetomb or sepulchre, wooden images were placed, representing the appearanceof the deceased; but on the graves of the lower orders, they satisfiedthemselves by some painted emblems of their profession or employment, moreespecially if they happened to be warriors.
