The line drawing (above left) is by an actual Inca artist, Guaman Poma, who was born about 20 years after the time of the Spanish conquest (in 1533 AD). This drawing is from a book he wrote and illustrated about the Inca people.

Could this be a statue of a Royal Black Tarquoia?

This relic was discovered in an ancient tomb (I think) somewhere in the Andes Mountains (from what I remember). I can't seem to find that website again... Note the gold ring in the ear like the one Baktar receives for his act of heroism.
