Tocapu

Tocapu (Tocapo or Tokapu) was a decorative artwork with discrete geometrical motifs.

In Tocapu, a nearly square frame inside a field is divided and subdivided into various geometric shapes.

[1] A repeat of the designs was combined following the suitability, for example, of repeating the single design unit or forming a group of units, such as a band (for example, a band on the bottom of uncu) or sometimes Tocapu motifs were given in a scattered way also (without any arrangement).

[1] Tocapu used by Incas always remained a subject of research for assuming the existence of pictographic or ideographic writing.

Santacruz Pachacuti Yamqui himself explained each town was referred to by a sign system well recognized in the Andes, the pacarina.
