Notes: game on...on the radio...top of 4th...Angels 2 Twins 2..Angels rookie just hit an rbi double...his first...to tie score...now runners first and third, no one out...Fernandez scores on Young's sac fly...Angels 2-1...missed start of game...miss read time...I'm really sleepy!...I was up all night continuing searches from late last night's post...this post thirty first about, in a series...see previous...I...I found something...hmmph...this tunic I found in the last post, which I thought just another tunic, albeit of a ruler, is actually thought to be the tunic of the Inca king...it is very famous...a lecturer on the tunic I found on youtube compares its artistry to the Mona Lisa...this to say it is that revered in South America...I noted the designs on it, thinking they might be miniature tunics, as one of them, the checkerboard one, certainly is, as there are like thirty of these tunics still extent...that's how I continued searching last night late, after I left off the post...Trout up...K...two out...Upton up...and I had noted in reading that each Inca tribe under Inca rule had a specific design...or emblem for their tribe...the tunics look to be emblems...oh, they're like a deck of cards!...thinking of the animated playing cards in Alice in Wonderland...just found that men would wear the tunics with the slit for the head parallel to their shoulders, women with it perpendicular...a dogear!...and they are all beautiful, and made with much craftsmanship...but in the searches, I couldn't find any that matched the King's tunic...Angels made out...to bottom of 4th...oh...Angels 3-1...Angels got more runs while I was thinking!...then, I thought to do a search from something else I read...that the designs for each tribe were in their hats...and, Eureka!, I found what the square emblems on the Kings tunic are...while the checkerboard ones are miniature tunics, all the rest are miniature square cornered hats!...these hats are so cool that looking at them one can't help wanting one!...for some unfathomable reason, I can't find replicas on the web...and for some unfathomably unfathomable reason, I cant find any sites that connect the four cornered hats to the tunic!...how can that be?...it's so obvious...the lecturer in the youtube, produced by Yale university, in the post talk questions and answers, is even asked, 'what do the designs mean?', and he goes on to mention the checkerboard tunic, but has no thought that the designs are tunics, or square cornered hats...he does say they are likely just emblems...Twins made out...to top of 5th...as opposed to symbols with religious meanings and such...I think, I think the four cornered hats are military unit emblems, the King's tunic a patchwork of the King's army with it's various units...the lecturer notes something odd about the emblems...they all have four square symmetry...how he notes this, and doesn't relate it to the four corner hats, I dunno...Cozart made out...to bottom of 4th?...must have been in third...the symmetry is kind of like a palindrome...there will be a design in one of the four corners, and then it is reflected in the opposite catercorner one...commonly there are two designs, each repeated once, so four all together, and they mirror one another, and will be a different color...this palindrome look is all over!...the tunics, the hats, and the figurine pottery...Inca, Nasca, Mari culture...all the way up there by Lake Titicaca too!...not sure what tribe that is...and it goes far back in pre history...some dated BC...the hats are just really really cool!...

The Andean hats are fabric caps with square tops that are punctuated with a peak at each corner. These ancient works of art, many of which remain intact, attracted Arthur Bullowa's attention many years ago. Their remarkably well-preserved condition offers the opportunity to discuss the complexity of Andean thought as it is demonstrated by the textile medium, a medium of consummate importance to the ancient peoples of the Andes. The three-dimensionality of these hats distinguishes them from other Andean fabrics and invites the insight into Andean spatial concepts that Ms. Frame details here. The brightly decorated colored patterns worked with such care can in fact be read both linearly and volumetrically, an accomplishment that demands attention and respect.

Images on ceramics of men bearing weapons and wearing four-cornered hats suggest that this style was worn by military men. Indeed, such well-preserved ancient hats have been discovered in male graves, and not those of women. The hat’s form and decoration might have communicated military abilities and even rank among soldiers. The four corners may reference the perked ears of fast and agile animals or possibly feather tufts of birds, which were highly valued in Andean culture. Notice the animated representation of birds on the hat itself. This one is made from the soft hair of alpacas or llamas, with extra long tufts creating a thicker texture for the birds.

While square hats are characteristic of the Wari culture, they are usually made of camelid fibers. On this hat, feathers have been attached to a cloth and reed foundation and cut into a mosaic design to create a headdress of exceptional brilliance and beauty. The motifs are similar to those found on fiber hats and other Wari textiles: profile feline heads alternate with a four-part design composed of squares and triangles, repeated on all four sides. The Wari, like other ancient Andean peoples, valued tropical forest birds for their bright, iridescent plumage. They probably considered feathered garments such as mantles, tunics, and headdresses to be high-prestige items because feathers and live birds had to be imported from the distant Amazon jungle. This headdress with vivid mosaic work was probably worn for ceremonial occasions.

Inca officials wore stylized tunics that indicated their status. It contains an amalgamation of motifs used in the tunics of particular officeholders. For instance, the black and white checkerboard pattern topped with a pink triangle is believed to have been worn by soldiers of the army. Some of the motifs make reference to earlier cultures, such as the stepped diamonds of the Huari and the three-step stairstep motif of the Moche.

Ritual Huari hat in camelid wool with four points, decorated with geometric patterns in blue, green, cream, pink, red
and black.
The four cardinal points were central in the pre-Colombian religions, particularly in the Huari culture that developed
in its iconography the figure four in multiple binary oppositions and in imbricated visual dualities.
Among these we find numerous geometrical faces stylized and organized in pairs, opposing profiles nose to nose,
but seen together, could be interpreted visually as a single face in frontal presentation.
The contrasting colors participated of the symbolism, their duality superimposing itself to the one of the pattern.
On each of the four sides of the cap there are two pairs of opposite profiles giving rise to such double meaning
"composite" faces : one in rectangular shape in the upper half part, the other arranged in a triangle in the lower part.
At first the sight, all these figures are lost in the geometry of the whole.
The square and the triangle had also both their own meaning.
H : 11 cm.
Excellent condition with a peak missing colors still fresh, mounted on a modern lining.
