Cap with four tips
This cap, made for a high-ranking member of Huari society, features a geometric motif reminiscent of the Andean cross or chakana. This is the stylized representation of the constellation of the Southern Cross, which was of great importance for the calendar determination of the beginning of the rainy season in the Andes. The sowing depended on this point in time. But the staircase design also points to another meaning, that of transition. For example from top to bottom. The design of the tips is reminiscent of feathers.
