Pottery, showing a high-ranking
individual being carried in a litter
High-ranking individuals were always carried in ancient Peru. They never set foot on the ground in the presence of their subjects. The Sapa Inca, the ruler of the Inca Empire, was carried by four men from the high nobility of the Incas. Even on long journeys the Inca did not walk.
