Abstract
The tocapu symbol system of Wari and Inca cultures belongs to the most impressive aspects of material culture of prehispanic South America.
... ... ...The results has been received by an iconographic analysis focusing on form and context of two prominent tocapu motifs, the so-called Inca key and the Inca diamond (Rowe 1979) (figs. 21a, 9).
... ... ...
The pattern appears to be executed in four colors. The design consists of thirty yellow squares with red keys alternating with thirty purple squares with dark blue keys. The original tunic hase been completely covered with keys, there were no stripes in the lower panel.
... ... ...
Consistent with the results of the iconographic analysis the autor suggests an interpretation of the Inca key checkerboard pattern tunic of the Linden Museum in relation to representations of (mythical) serpents.

AGENT: 105
Apparently a coastal based Agent with possible ancestry among the Nasca who produced effigy jars depicting a similar headdress with two extended horn-like knobs (105-6, 105-7). Copies of Agent 105-2 were assigned to the Atarco style though these urns retain Robles Moqo features of modeling (Menzel 1964:50, ftnt. 303).
In association with Agents 104 and 107, Agent 105 appears to be the one in command. (see Zuidema 1972 for 4analysis). As a warrior with axe, bow and arrow, one vessel depicts Agent 105-3 with supernatural traits of split eyes and gaping animal mouth.

that site I was at yesterday...scholars can be a bit like hot rodders talking engines...I'm not sure what an 'agent' is...guessing it is a distinctive facial decoration...a unique set of combined elements that show up on different figurines...agents are like tocapus?...Calhoun gives one 'a long ride'...caught...Ohtani not in the line up...missed why...Fletcher up...hmmph...that abstract/ariticle I first quoted shows up a lot in 'linden museum tocapus' search, but usually just the abstract...but I found one with the whole pdf to download...and at that site there was a kind of 'pay wall'...it wanted personal information to see more...kind of like real estate sites...and I went clicking through menus...reaching the end where a not allowed sort of page...thought I was done...but the pdf did download without finishing the request for personal info prompts...and it was all in German...don't know how to translate pdfs...yet...Angels make out...to bottom of 7th...so I left off the site...abstract had the quote/thoughts I wanted...but, but today I open my email and find I've become yet another sites 'bon bon'...google, facebook, att, yahoo, kahn, and who knows all, have fashioned me into what I fancy is one of their 'bon bons'...their info gathering bots have gathered me up...and now follow me about everywhere...occasionally dropping ads and such on me in my email...some do this in my browses...a caution clicking on my quotes/references...if one happens on those info prompts, one will be bon bonned...home run...Mariners 3-1...first home run for Herman as a Mariner...I went on that there is a complexity to quipos that resembles the complexity of tocapus...and now 'agents' too...need to nail down that term...anyway, I've been wanting to get to the Andean polygonal walls, and they, I think I see, have a self similar complexity to the tocapus...but, but, the Andeas didn't carve a lot of figures into their architecture like the Mesoamericans...thought is maybe the polygonal walls were covered with such, maybe gold sheething, and were scrubbed clean off by the Spanish...Bedrosan new Angels pitcher...runner on third...don't know...one would think the prevalence of the designs on the tocapus and such would find their way onto the architecture...sac fly bounced off the plate...hmmph...batter safe?...runner scores...yep...another hit...runners at first and second...but, but, there is one 'step' in polygonal wall...and famous...bases loaded...Mariners made out...to top of 8th...
