A statue of this figure holding a basket and gold baton is the best known work by Yupanqui. Islands named for the Sun and Moon decreased in their religious usage when a shrine to this figure with a statue made from maguey wood developed at Copacabana. A South American statue described as either this figure or a chronologically earlier one was controversially thrown into a river by Alexander Tschugguel. The Nican mopohua records an (*) encounter with this figure, who was often syncretized with Tonantzin in Mexico or Pachamama in South America. One image of this figure was preserved on the tilma cloak of Juan Diego at the hill of Tepeyac. For 10 points, name this figure who appeared at Guadalupe, leading it to become a shrine to her. ■END■
