The Chimú kingdom, which dominated the northern and central coasts of present-day Peru from 1100 to 1470, produced a variety of high-status feathered garments and ornaments for the ruling elite, such as tabards (tunics open at the sides), pectorals, ear ornaments, and headdresses. The large quantity of feathered regalia indicates an active trading network with the distant tropical lowlands to make exotic feathers more readily available to skilled Chimú artisans.
Feathers were sewn or adhered to a woven cotton cloth that was then attached to a reed foundation. The checkerboard pattern, surrounding stepped-fret motifs, and abstracted human figures are classic Chimú designs.

Survey of the Checkerboard Pattern and GIII’s Kan/k’in Cross in Context
Without a point of origin for the checkerboard and the context whereby it became to be associated with the Twisted Gourd and played such a visible role in the symbol set, it will be hard to securely define its meaning.
Chama-style polychrome tripod censer c. 600-900 CE, Guatemala, with protrusions that look like cacao beans. Cacao beans, maize and gourds were equivalent substitutes in the Maya’s portrayal of the World Tree (mchap #0646-0647, Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino. Also see MCHAP 0645.)
A 5,000-year-old stirrup spout cacao vessel recovered from Ecuador. “These findings constitute the earliest evidence of T. cacao use in the Americas and the first unequivocal archaeological example of its pre-Columbian use in South America. They also reveal the upper Amazon region as the oldest centre of cacao domestication yet identified” (Zarrillo et al., 2018: fig.2a).

“For the Maya, the sun defined both space and the agricultural cycle. The solstice sun rose and set at the corners of the quadrilateral world model, and the sun hovered above its center at noon on the two annual zenith passages. The east-west axis of the quadrilateral world represented the daily path of the sun while the north-south axis was its annual path. The colored quadrants of the world (red-east, black-west, white-north and yellow-south) were also tied to the sun’s path with red associated with the rising sun and black with setting sun. When the sun first enters the northern quadrant after the late April-early May solar zenith passage in the lowlands, it is a sign that it is time to burn the corn fields and plant. The burning of the corn fields not only turns the landscape white with ash, but the sky is filled with white smoke that often obliterates the sun, hence the association of white with the north. When the sun returns to its zenith position in late August and moves into the southern sky, the corn plants begin to mature and the green fields slowly turn to yellow” (Bassie-Sweet, 2018:62).
this is something...not sure what!...in previous post, I went on about an author's monograph about the Mayan's crossed band motif...since then, I note it in passing...and even found another author that gave a more elaborated depiction of the crossed band, or Saint...I forget...someones cross...Saint Andrews'!!!...for sometime...here this author is saying the swing from solstice to solstice gets stylized...I imagine there is an angle to this if one kept track of it on the ground...which is sure to have been done!...actually two angles where the cross arms meet..I dunno!...Yankees make out...to bottom of ninth...

Much of what Devereux goes over on that page was in work of author going on about the Twisted Gourd that I found last season...for sometime to compare the two...Devereux has speculative answers for just about every motif every step of the way...this in contrast say, to vlad9vt on youtube who just posts snagged images, rarely with any kind of captions...monuments for most part...the Mysterons seem to limit themselves to monuments, figurines...the world of motifs too much a tangle!...anyway...Angels lose another one...Yankees 7-5...
