One symbol the appears over and over again is the “6 suyos”. According the man I bought the belt from, these are 6 crops, or elements of sustanence on the island, such as quinoa, corn, fish, etc. According to the internet, it is the 6 communities on the island. I guess I will have to do more research!

It actually represents the 6 “suyos” of the island of Taquille. When I asked the man from whom I bought the belt, he said the suyos were like sustenence, (Corn, fish, etc.), but when I looked it up on the internet, it said suyo was a community… so 6 communities on the island. I guess I´ll have to research it more!
