Khipu Rainbow Chakra Harmony Earrings

The Andean cross, known as “chakana” in Quechua, signifies a “ladder to the highest.” It’s a four-sided ladder symbol, bridging the human world with the divine, uniting the lower and higher realms, Earth and the Sun.

The Quipu, or khipu, was used by the Incas and Andean cultures to record and convey information. This ingenious device, without a written language, utilized colors, strings, and knots at different heights to record various data, including dates, statistics, accounts, and even abstract folk stories and poetry.
