Gobelet en bois "kero", 16e / 17e siècle ·  Pérou, Inca · ID: 3050220

Description

sticky “sweating” patina, old native repair with silver inlay

Tumbler-shaped drinking vessels “kero” were used in Peru to consume chicha (corn beer) for hundreds of years before the Inca came to power. During Inca times, they were made and used in pairs since custom required that two individuals drink together.

To consolidate the relationship between local communities and the Inca state, toasts were exchanged during ceremonial occasions and pairs of keros, often together with fine textiles, were given to provincial leaders as a sign of Inca generosity.
