| The polychrome decoration on this fine ceramic is most typical of Inka vessels originating from the Lake Titicaca area of Bolivia and Peru. Textile patterns are most closely related to the graphic, painted designs executed with precision on the cylindrical walls of this royal kero, or cup, used for occasional official or ceremonial use, and then, judging by its well-preserved appearance, it was placed into a tomb or funerary bundle for the deceased. The vessel is intact and in very fine, original condition with no restoration. It measures 7 3/8"H x 6 3/8"Diam. From a private Florida collection. A quality example infrequently found this size, and this elaborately painted. AD 1250-1400. | |||||||
