About the Item

Incan Kero Tumbler-shaped drinking vessel Period: 15th 16th Century Region: Peru Material: Wood Polychroming Finest in the world! Museum quality! Keros were used in Peru to consume chicha, a type of corn beer. These were used before the Inca came to power and reached a peak in decoration and design during the Incas' reign. Keros were often used in pairs as customs often saw two individuals drink together. They were used in ceremonies and also given as gifts by Incan leaders to neighboring provinces, in diplomacy and to symbolize their friendly association. This is clearly one of the finest surviving and elaborate Keros in the world. The polychroming is incredible! Great geometric patterns and two figures. This Kero has an incredibly rare platform design which elevates the kero and clearly was for ceremonial usage and diplomacy. This likely also explains its slightly more elaborate polychroming and details. This is a spectacular piece of Incan history. Age appropriate wear, Clearly much of the centuries old polychroming is still present.
