Peru takes inspiration for this artwork from the Chakana or Inca Cross was the most important symbol of pre-Hispanic Andes, known way before the advent of the Incas, though assimilated by them in a very important sense.
The Incas represented their world view of the world in these three animals: the snake, the puma, and the condor. The condor was a sacred bird for the Incas who believed that it communicated the upper world, the puma is a symbol of strength, wisdom, and intelligence. The snake represented the infinite.

Ancestral traditions that date back thousands of years are still being performed and practiced in the Andean highlands of Peru’s remote regions. The Despacho ceremony, an offering to Pachamama, is one of Peru’s oldest, and most sacred, rituals; one that allows the people of the Andes to give thanks to their one and only goddess: Pachamama, our Mother Earth.
A despacho offering is a symbolic way in which human beings give back to Pachamama for what they abundantly receive from her. In essence, the purpose is the restoration of exchange between humans and nature, bringing both into balance.
