Description:
The Sun, the life-giving and active force and his spouse the Moon, the life-receiving and receptive force is a recurring theme in Andean symbolism. The attraction and interaction between them give birth to the Pachamama, the world of space-time and all the lifeforms therein, such as the birds. There is an ancient Andean bird that is called Urpi. It looks a bit like a small dove and is often translated as dove, such as in the quechua expression Urpichay sonqoy: (I send you) a dove from my heart, which means thank you from the bottom of my heart.
