Condor, Puma and Snake

In our collection you can find the new necklace named "Necklace Condor, Puma, Serpiente. This necklace is inspired on the most important Inca symbols from the so called Chakana, the Inca cross.





In the necklace you will see beads of the Inti (sun), the condor, puma and snake, with very detailed filigran art. The three symbols represent the three layers in the Inca life: the underworld (snake) stands for the physical, this world (puma) stands for mental and the higher spirit (condor)stand for spiritual. The middle of the cross is the sun which is the center of the universe, for the Inca's this was Cuzco. The Inca cross is based on the astrological Southern Cross, a star sign.
