Kuripe Carved in Natural Stone Chakana Inca Design

Hand carved stone kuripe with Inca Chakana design
This hand-carved stone Kuripe features a stunning Inca Chakana design, rich in symbolism and cultural significance. The Chakana cross, also known as the Andean Cross, is a sacred symbol that has deep meaning in the Inca culture.

The Chakana design of this Kuripe beautifully represents our connection to heaven and earth. Its four main arms symbolize various elements of the natural world, making it a powerful emblem of balance and harmony. Each arm corresponds to one of the four cardinal points, the four fundamental elements (earth, water, air and fire), and even the four seasons, encompassing the cycle of life and the perpetual renewal of nature.

Additionally, the Chakana is also associated with the Southern Cross, or Crux, a prominent constellation in the southern sky. This celestial connection adds a celestial dimension to the Kuripe stone, deepening its meaning and making it a truly remarkable work of art. This piece is handcrafted
