there are like 'eyes' on the design...so, so maybe the step fret is a stylized creature, or two intertwined!...another version I saw made me think of a lion's curled tail...and I thought maybe the steps represent teeth...a curled tail and teeth for the step fret...often things get stylized to the point that they're first representation is forgotten...Angels made out...bottom of 2nd...I one finger type...and an odd thing is I can do it without looking...unless I think too much about what I'm doing...finding the keys I mean...an aside!...one out double for Boston...the letter A can be traced back to the Egyptian pictograph for a bull...Boston made out...Angels up...have a runner...Fletcher I think got a hit...Ohtani took batting practice...soon to be back in the lineup as DH hitter...hooey...long fly out for Hermesillio...Barria is pitching for Angels...Senora de Cao...Kinsler two out single...no runner on before...Trout up...Cao was covered with tattoos...sometimes called the Tattooed Sorceress Queen...

This woman, approximately 25 years old, with a height of 1.48 m had an abscess on the wisdom tooth and her death occurred in a postpartum stage, perhaps an eclampsia.

It is surprising the comparison of the power insignia of the Lady of Cao with the character "D" of the "ceremony of sacrifice", central theme of the Moche iconography. In the narrative sequence, the blood of the executed prisoners is offered to the high dignitary who heads the ceremony.
... ... ...
For a long time, archaeologists assumed that the characters of this central ceremony were mythical figures, however, the identification of these individuals apparently masked or transfigured, were found in their own graves; for example: the character "A" to whom the blood cup is given corresponds to the lord of Sipán, the character "B" corresponds to the Priest Owl (both tombs discovered in Sipán), the character "C" corresponds to a priestess whose tomb It was discovered in 1991 by Luis Jaime Castillo on the site of San José de Moro, and the character "D", which was still unknown until a few years ago, corresponds to the Lady of Cao, but it is necessary to differentiate between the genre and the chronology of the iconographic representation that has been mentioned with the Lady of Cao (Franco 2012).

apparently, these lords and ladies of the Moche, role played...I was searching 'moche iconography'...Young catches Mookie's fly out...to top of 4th...

The burial theme depicted on Moche pottery includes four scenes, including the burial scene, the assembly scene, and the sacrifice scene, the conch shell transfer.

these ceremonies were known from the vase illustrations...then when they found the mummies, the mummies' costumes matched up with the illustrations...Home Run for Simmons...Angels have the lead...went out over the Green Monster...Angels 1-0...that, that's very strange...my whimsy is that the ancients were playing video games when in their altered states!...lol...there's a stylization I want to track down...Young up...pic from yesterday...

one thing to note about that mural is that it is a fractal!...big curly wave with little curly waves!
quote
"swirls within swirls"
... ... ...
Cyberneticist Ron Eglash has suggested that fractal geometry and mathematics are prevalent in African art, games, divination, trade, and architecture. Circular houses appear in circles of circles, rectangular houses in rectangles of rectangles, and so on. Such scaling patterns can also be found in African textiles, sculpture, and even cornrow hairstyles.[32][81] Hokky Situngkir also suggested the similar properties in Indonesian traditional art, batik, and ornaments found in traditional houses.[

A logarithmic spiral, equiangular spiral or growth spiral is a self-similar spiral curve which often appears in nature. The logarithmic spiral was first described by Descartes and later extensively investigated by Jacob Bernoulli, who called it Spira mirabilis, "the marvelous spiral".

then, again, the step fret might represent "the marvelous spiral"...lol...but what I want to track out is those four plume like things on the wave monster in the Moche mural...I've seen them in the bean warrior illustrations...where are they?...top of 5th...Bresinillio up...broken bat comebacker...one out...Trout hit by pitch...runners first and second two out...

I was looking for Andean Mesoamerican thatched roofs!...thought was the steps in the step motifs came from weaving thatched roofs...rather than from weaving baskets...the nature of the materials making the jagged steps...and, low and behold, I found pre Columbian house models with the tocapu designs on their roofs and sides...now, I don't know if the artist just thought to paint those on, or was indeed faithfully representing what the roofs looked like...normally, thatched roofs are just a shaggy tan color...I looked about, because I remember seeing thatched roofs with designs...and found myself in Papua New Guinea...hmmph...anyway...the vessel on the left has the Inca Warrior tunic steps...the one in the middle looks to have frets/spirals...Angels made out...bottom of 6th...pitching change...Barria did good again...leaves with runner on first...I think Boston is up 2-1...maybe the warrior tunic steps are related to roofs!...those Nabataean tombs in Saudi Arabia have the steps at top--roof like!...on the right in back in pic is a step fret vessel...ball off the green monster...runners first and third one out...I cant see the labeling...but the stirrup vessels are likely all Moche...Mayan and Mesoamericans didn't have stirrup vessels...oh...before I forget it...back away I posted pic of a kneeling warrior covered with symbols, labeled as Mixtec...it's not...my searches only turn up kneeling on one knee Moche warriors...back to back walks and a run walks in...Boston 2-1...hoot...run will be charged to Barria...'on the hook for a loss'...Angels bullpen is like the butt of all the commentary jokes in the mlb youtube clips!...and then Alverez turns a comebacker into a double play...bullpen is 'hot and cold'...hmmph...oh...vessel on left, in back, has geometric designs on the roof...which suggests, if it's Moche, Moche houses had geometric decorations on sides and roofs...which makes sense...Greek stone temples often carried forward the look of previous wood temples...they know this from models of temples they find...wood doesn't last...thatch either!...so, hard to determine this...top of 7th...one out...I posted this guy yesterday...

or one like him...image from google images, search, moche kneeling warrior....here's another...note what I thought might be mushrooms on his forehead...one magic mushroom is famous for having red spots...but, but, I find, the spots might represent round metal plates that the warriors wore for armor...on their tunics...I dunno...
here's one with a bunch...
this one has the red dot on his shield...so likely this is a clan emblem...
Moche had square and round shields...
link to where in google images these came from...

well, well, here I was all puffed up thinking I found an error in captioning!...that, that Mixtec warrior is a Moche figurine...I mean, look at the pose, the little shield...it's all there, and yet it's not...too many symbols...none looking very Moche...and the headdress...is that Moche?...but then again, if one looks closely, at the eyes especially, one can see a kind of peppermint candy, red and white, design...that I've seen a little bit on Moche pottery...Trout scores on Pujols punch single...two on...Boston 4-2...Simmons up...low liner caught...for sometime is the white toe and finger nails!...I find that on a lot of the figurines everywhere...crash into the green monster and left fielder snags fly out...hmmph...'game changer'...Valbuena pinch hit...first pitch pop up...to bottom of 8th...well, Barria no longer pitcher of record thanks to Pujols' rbi...wont get the loss...Parker on the mound...pitcher number four for Angels...one out...grounder to Pujols...warrior has the teeth fangs of the Moche Decapitator...which is the altered state expression (update while spell checking: maybe not teeth, but the pupae...see following)...along with tongues hanging out...one odd thing is the Moche figurines sometime have fly pupae tattooed on their chins...Kahn academy take has it this represents the figure is a sacrificial candidate...their take is in this clip...

but I've seen the pupae thing else ware...Boston made out...top of 9th...Boston 4-2...

His facial adornment may have been painted or tattooed and he wears a string of small shells across his chin.
... ... ...
Beneath a line traced across the chin hangs a row of flies emerging from their pupal cases, perhaps alluding to beliefs about that flies that mysteriously emerge from within corpses that have been left exposed to the elements following sacrifice.

Calhoun walks...Kinsler up...lol...British Museum has two captions...the curator's the one that goes on about the flies, which is same as Kahn's about another figurine...a wish that all the figurines and such on the web had curators' comments!...chased and missed...K...Trout up...0-1...in fact, looking at that, Kahn likely quoted that curator in their clip...same words...1-2...K...hmmph...cue the flies...on to B'mor...try to make sense of this post's sprawl tomorrowmorrow!
