The Shrine of Our Father Sun ©Juan Negrin, July 1977
In the above photograph we see a detail of the shrine of Our Father Sun,
Tayau Xirikieya, which is built on a pyramidal platform. The central disk or
tepari is a
nierika which symbolizes the penetrating vision of Our Father Sun. This is one example of what will be covered under the heading of sacred art.
