3. The 'double-eye' glyph in Pa6-46 is unusual, and only two more such can be found:
In *Nb4-9 the upper 'eye' has a single rim, and together with 36 and Jupiter it suggests this upper 'eye' represents Sun (in contrast to the double-rimmed Moon type of 'eye'). The 2 * 8 = 16 'eagle' head eyes at the end of the tresses of Pachamama are double-rimmed, while those on her front side are single-rimmed:.
But the 'tears' below her eyes, and also her mouth, have double rims. Such a mouth sign also separates the double chains of 'eagle'-heads below her chin. Furthermore, the strange face hanging down below her 'tears' is that of a kind of fish, as I remember it from Posnansky. Fishes belong in water. The night side of the year (or of the day etc) is opposite to the side of the face, where the rays from Sun dries everything up, evaporating the water and moving it up like steam. When Sun no longer rules in the sky the water will return downwards in the form of rain or dew. Moon therefore is associated with water. Sun is high up and Moon is low down, where the water collects. Therefore 'fists' held high probably represent Sun, while an empty eye-socket presumably illustrates 'the watery hole' of the season of Moon:
