EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of South American history and artistry. The image features a Kero, an ancient ceremonial cup from the late 16th to mid-17th century Inca civilization. Crafted with wood and adorned with lacquer-like paint, this exquisite artifact measures approximately 15.88 cm in height. The Kero is beautifully decorated with a ceremonial scene that depicts the rich cultural traditions of the Inca people. Additionally, it features an intricate Inca key tocapu design, adding further depth and symbolism to its significance. Housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, this particular Kero is part of The Nora and John Wise Collection. It was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Jake L. Hamon, the Eugene McDermott Family, Mr. and Mrs. Algur H. Meadows and the Meadows Foundation Incorporated, as well as Mr. and Mrs. John D. Murchison. Dating back centuries ago during the post-conquest era of the Inca civilization, this Kero serves as a tangible link to their vibrant past filled with rituals and ceremonies. The craftsmanship displayed on this artifact highlights not only the skill but also the artistic sensibilities possessed by these ancient cultures in South America.
