From the left hand of Ophiuchus to the left hand of Aquarius there were 70 (= 365 - 295) days. January 31 (396) - 326 (November 21) = 70. In order to secure the dates, stars, numbers, etc. I have below mapped the path from March 21:

February 4 (2-4) is day 400 if we count from January 1 in the preceding year. 365 + 31 (January) + 4 (February) = 400. There is a reversed bird (manu) in Ca12-4.

August 4 is day 216 from January 1 and 136 days after March 21. If we should consider 136 as a number sign for the new year 'half' of the Pleiades (which triplet of stars rose with the Sun in May 16 = day 136), then August 4 becomes a date similar to May 16.

I.e., August 3 (215) would be comparable to the day of Tau-ono (the 6 'eyes'), when the old year ended.

215 + 185 = 400 and this equation can be 'read' in the hair tresses at the back side of Pachamama:

It is not possible to exactly determine what numbers the creator of the statue had in mind because there are fractions of wedge marks. Possibly this was intended, viz. to provoke thinking.

To the casual observer there was no difference between the tresses at left and the tresses as right. But for the professional observer - sharp as a knife - the differences could not be ignored:
