The significance of these ceramics is not known to us. Interestingly, they very accurately represent the type of sandals worn during the Inca period by people who worked for the Incas. Guaman Poma de Ayala, an important chronicler from the 17th century, who wrote a chronicle consisting of a combination of text and pictorial representations, depicts exactly this kind of sandals in his drawings. It is possible that the Inca runners, the chasqui, wore such sandals. They carried out a relay race to bring information, mainly in the form of knotted cords, to the central administrative offices. About every 30 kilometres one runner was replaced by another.
