Rooftop decoration

Most rooftops in rural areas of the Sacred Valley have similar rooftop decorations: a cross surrounded by two bulls, often with other symbols thrown in. Also, notice what it says on top of the cross. Usually, the Christian cross is surmounted by "INRI", short for a Latin phrase meaning "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." This one, however, actually says "Inti", the name of the Inca sun god.
