Pictures of Tocapu covered Garment presented on Blog
Pictures of a possibly related phenomenon from the Inca era have been added to the blog.
These pictures are of an Inca-era ceremonial garment to which was stitched an array of tocapu signs. A number of drawings presented in Guaman Puna's colonial era chronicle show various Inca dignitaries wearing garments laden with these signs. Burns interpreted at least Puna's signs as a form of writing.
Two pictures are presented here:
(1) A topacu-laden Inca era ceremonial garment from the Dumbarton Oaks, pre-Columbian Collection in Washington DC.
(2) The same picture with the tocapu signs numbered for future analysis.
