Representing the Southern Cross, chakanas take shape in lacy silver filigree. Alfredo Inga creates earrings with an ancient Andean symbol. The chakana is taken from a constellation of stars forming a quadratic square, and represents the universe connected to the center of the world, believed to be Cuzco. It symbolizes order in family and community life.
