Summary
| Description |
English: Incaic Quellca drawings of the Tokapu type.
Source: redrawn from the original research of Victoria de la Jara, 1972. Motifs like these have been used from pre-Inca times to the present day. Although there is no consensus as to whether or not they represented full writing during pre-Columbian times. There is no doubt that many - if not all - once had a meaning, some of them remain. For example, the design representing a star, frequent in Pre-Columbian Inca textiles, is still present in many parts of the Andes, in most instances unchanged or barely altered but always representing the same thing, a star, its influence reaches as far away as Mapuche lands who very frequently use said design in their present-day textiles. |
