Andean Peru Inka Jacket - Key ring - Earring - Keychain - Earring The symbol itself represents the Southern Cross in May and is a reference to the Sun and the Southern Cross, although its shape, which suggests a pyramid with stairs on all four sides and a circular centre, would also have a higher meaning, in the sense of pointing out the union between the low and the high, the earth and the sun, the human being and the superior. Chakana is therefore no longer understood only as an architectural or geometric concept, but takes on the meaning of "stairway to the highest". The chacana also indicates the four seasons of the year and the times of sowing and harvesting. Some Andean villages celebrate May 3 as the day of the chacana, because on this day, the Southern Cross assumes the astronomical form of a perfect cross and is a sign of harvest time. The southern cross was venerated by the ancient inhabitants of Peru and, until today, the tradition of protecting the crops by marking the cultivated area with various chakanas has been maintained. This symbol has nothing to do with the Christian cross. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chacana
