The Andean condor is a raptor and the largest bird capable of flight. It is also known as the king vulture. Keeper of the Hanaqpacha and intermediary between that realm and the Kaypacha (along with siwar q'enti), Kuntur is the ultimate symbol of transcendence and of elevated, heavenly consciousness; sometimes seen as a symbol of purification, scavenging for carrion and transmuting that somewhat repugnant food-source into pure flight. Some of the symbols represented on this tile include: Wind God of Lightning, Food storage, protection of the House, Mother Earth with agricultural furrows, Hummingbird - bird of spirituality, Three coca leaf, kintu, offering for the Apus or mountain deities, Constellation including the four directions, and Inti, the Sun God.
