Visited only by the coya, they spun the fine vicuna garments for the Inca's use and sewed upon them little plates of gold and emeralds. They wove and embroid- ered the royal coca bags which the Inca hung upon his left shoulder. They made the sacred lid n tu with the colored fringe, and the straw- colored twist for the head of the prince royal. They gathered bones of white Hamas and burned them with linen they had spun. Then they collected the ashes, and looking toward the east, threw them into ...the air, an offering to the Sun. ' They made bread for the festivals of the Sun and the chicha drunk by the Inca and his kindred, in kettles of gold and silver. For rec- reation they went out to walk in their garden of silver and gold.

The beginnings of the four seasons were festivals. At the ver- [207] PERU, A LAND OF CONTRASTS nal equinox degrees of chivalry were taken by young nobles who, having gone through all pos- sible tests, fasting, and temptation, received at last the kiss upon the shoulder and the jab through the ear-lobe given by the Inca with a nail of gold.
