The design on this kero recalls the extreme abstraction that typifies Wari-style textiles from the southern coast. The step-fret/curl is a frequent Wari decorative motif, perhaps alluding to an undulating ground line/architectural feature like that seen at the base of the carved narrative on the Gate of the Sun at Tiwanaku.

quote
Many theories for the skill of Tiwanaku's architectural construction have been proposed. One is that they used a luk’ a, which is a standard measurement of about sixty centimeters. Another argument is for the Pythagorean Ratio. This idea calls for right triangles at a ratio of five to four to three used in the gateways to measure all parts. Lastly, Protzen and Nair argue that Tiwanaku had a system set for individual elements dependent on context and composition. This is shown in the construction of similar gateways ranging from diminutive to monumental size, proving that scaling factors did not affect proportion. With each added element, the individual pieces were shifted to fit together.[23]

Notes: Game on...on the radio...Angels at Phillies...top of seventh...runner on...one down...maybe I've found the Triangle, of the Step Fret Triangle...see wiki's take above about the builders of Tiwanaku...but I dunno...reach is the step fret triangle, the chacana, the one quarter steps, half steps, even the X and T motifs, represent astronomical/surveying instruments...Aztecs used two staffs with Xs on top of them...oh, the Wari beaker a find!...the triangle I'm pointing to, is the little one seen, but the triangle is in the shape of the step too, and in that beaker in the outline design...and the step fret X a find too...and a match for the Cross Staffs...what seems to be doing is a celebration of the astronomy instruments, but that's such a reach!...that the step fret triangle celebrates the cosmology of all the pre-Columbian Americas becomes a no brainer, as one finds it everywhere!...Angels down to their last out...ground out 6-3....Phillies 6-4...
