Inca Wooden Kero with Incised Decorations

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, central Peru, Inca, ca. 1300 to 1500 CE. A wonderful Inca kero, carved from wood, presenting a gracefully flared conical form, and meticulously decorated with several registers of incised geometric motifs. Skillfully hand-carved (rather than made on a lathe) and incised, this vessel was most likely used for drinking Chicha - a fermented corn beer favored by the indigenous. Size: 4.875" W x 5.875" H (12.4 cm x 14.9 cm)

Provenance: private Salter collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA

Condition

Age cracks with some separation. A pair of perforations to either side of the upper end of one crack indicates an old repair; natural fiber or sinew would have been threaded through these to tightly fasten the vessel.
