Abstract
El sitio de Ccacahuani, ubicado en el departamento de Puno, destaca como uno de los lugares más representativos de arte rupestre post conquista en la región. A pesar de los desafíos metodológicos inherentes a los estudios del arte rupestre, aplicamos un análisis iconográfico específico para este caso. Los resultados muestran representaciones de un emblema de la orden militar de Santiago y de combatientes ataviados con vestimenta española del siglo XVIII. Esta escena resalta la marcha triunfal de un escuadrón de dragones en la coyuntura de la segunda fase de la revolución de Tupac Amaru en 1781 en Carabaya. Considerando que, hacia finales del siglo XVIII, esta provincia desempeñó un papel activo durante la Gran Rebelión andina, se infiere que esta pintura rupestre constituye una alegoría a la victoria del ejército realista en 1781
The Ccacahuani site, located in the department of Puno, stands out as one of the most representative places of post-conquest rock art in the region. Despite the methodological challenges inherent in rock art studies, we applied a specific iconographic analysisfor this case. The results show representations of an emblem of the military order of Santiago and of combatants dressed in Spanish clothing from the 18th century. This scene highlights the triumphant march of a squadron of dragons at the juncture of the second phase of Tupac Amaru's revolution in 1781 in Carabaya. Considering that, towards the end of the 18th century, this province played an active role during the Great Andean Rebellion, it is inferred that this cave painting constitutes an allegory to the victory of the royalist army in 1781.
