Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Central Peru, Inca Empire & post-Spanish conquest period, ca. 1200 to 1600 CE. A pair of ancient Peruvian artifacts- a wood kero cup and a woven fiber sling. The textile sling (known as a honda or tump line) is comprised of tightly woven plant fibers with lengthy lateral strands and a split central holder. The center may have been a projectile holder for use as a defensive weapon or hunting tool, or it could have been a cradle to support the burden when used as a tump line. The kero is a special type of tall cylindrical vessel, carved from a single piece of wood, and incised with geometric motifs. Kero were used for drinking Chicha - a fermented corn beer, and this wood example likely dates to the early Spanish conquest period. Size of sling: 87.5" L x 0.6" W (222.2 cm x 1.5 cm); kero: 4.25" Diameter x 5.5" H (10.8 cm x 14 cm)

Provenance: ex-Winters collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private Allison collection, Kent, Washington, USA, inherited in the mid-1970s
