Viracocha created the universe, sun, moon, and stars, time (by commanding the sun to move over the sky) and civilization itself. Viracocha was worshipped as god of the sun and of storms. He was represented as wearing the sun for a crown, with thunderbolts in his hands, and tears descending from his eyes as rain. Spanish chroniclers from the 16th century claimed that when the conquistadors led by francisco pizarro first encountered the incas they were greeted as gods, "viracochas", because their lighter skin resembled their god viracocha. This story was first reported by pedro cieza de león (1553) and later by pedro sarmiento de gamboa. Similar accounts by spanish chroniclers (e.G. Juan de betanzos) describe viracocha as a "white god", often with a beard. In some stories, he has a wife called mama qucha. 10 cm height, 6.2 cm width
