The visual discourse, encrypted in a dense but entertaining performance, opposed Luther's teachings and, in general, the condemnations of the Protestants, who perceived Mariolatry in that attribution. For Lutherans, Genesis 3:15 is a Protoevangelium, that is, a prophecy only about the coming of Christ to restore humanity from sin. This work analyzes the emblem, the processional float, the characters, and other elements of the iconographical program of the Príncipe Tartáreo to decode the symbolic elements that, in a Counter-Reformation effort, attributed to the Virgin Mary a crucial role in salvation. En Potosí, el 30 de septiembre de 1601, uno de los cuadros parateatrales del juego de la sortija, un torneo programado en las fiestas en honor de Santa María de Guadalupe, se diseñó para demostrar que cuando Dios maldijo a la serpiente en Génesis 3:15 y le pronosticó que su cabeza sería pisada, se refería a María como la enemiga de la tentadora y que, en efecto, fue la Virgen quien ejecutó este acto de dominio sobre el Mal. Tal discurso visual cifrado en un performance denso, pero muy divertido, se oponía a las enseñanzas de Lutero y, en general, a las condenas de los protestantes, quienes percibían mariolatría en esa atribución. Para los luteranos, Génesis 3:15 consiste en un protoevangelio, es decir, una profecía sobre la venida de Cristo a restaurar a la humanidad del pecado. Este trabajo analiza la divisa, el carro triunfal, los personajes y otros elementos del programa iconográfico del Príncipe Tartáreo para desentrañar el entramado de los valores simbólicos que, en un afán contrarreformista, atribuyen a María un papel clave en la salvación.
