• NAZCA POLYCHROME KERO BOWL W/
  NAZCA POLYCHROME KERO BOWL W/ MYTHOLOGICAL BEINGSPre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 300 to 600 CE. A hand-built pottery kero or bowl of a broad form resting on a rounded but stable base with slanted walls, and a deep basin with stone-burnished surfaces and a uniform brick-red hue. The exterior is an amazing polychrome painting of the popular “Anthropomorphic Mythical Beings” that can be interpreted as underworld deities or demons; comprised of spiraling tails and leering humanoid yet feline-esque heads that extend a barb-shaped tongue between their paws. All is painted is slip painted in warm earthen tones of red, brown, tan, white, and black. These pigments were often made with minerals like hematite, limonite, and magnetite, as well as white kaolin clay, and applied with brushes made from llama and alpaca fur, and then given black outlines. A lovely example of these enigmatic beings!

• PRE-COLUMBIAN CHIMU GOLD RITUAL
  PRE-COLUMBIAN CHIMU GOLD RITUAL KERO (DRINKING VESSEL)Pre-Columbian, North Coast of Peru, Chimu, Late Intermediate Period, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. An elegant ritual kero (drinking cup) formed from a single sheet of 74.9% gold (equivalent to 17K+). The minimalist vessel exhibits a planar base, slightly flared walls rising to a flat, flanged rim, and a deep basin interior. The kero vessel is a ceremonial vessel that was an important component of rituals in several Andean cultures. Although gold was not favored as currency by the Chimu, it was certainly a material treasured for its robust symbolism. The Chimu believed that gold itself was imbued with the essence of the sun, its light, and its heat, and was thereby a fantastic conductor of spiritual energy. The surfaces of this kero are incredibly lustrous and, in the right light, appear as though they are channeling the solar divinity itself! Size: 2.4" W x 2.9" H (6.1 cm x 7.4 cm); gold quality: 74.9% (equivalent to 17K+); silver quality: 23.7%; weight: 41 grams The kero form was also created by Chimu and Inca cultures as well as other peoples of the ancient world. However, the indigenous of Peru created these for more than just domestic purposes. The ornate ones were used during life and for the afterlife at funerary ceremonies that incorporated intricate religious libations and imbibing rites. To create this piece, the ancient metalsmith hammered a piece of gold into a very thin sheet, approximately the size of the finished work. Then, the artisan used fine-grained stone anvils and hammer stones made of hematite or green porphyry, sometimes with animal hide attached, and a wooden template was used to create the form as the metalsmith hammered the gold sheet upon the wooden template. The Spaniards did not understand the ritualistic function of keros and believed the cups might contain secret messages of rebellion within their ornamental designs. The Spaniards sadly destroyed large quantities of keros during sixteenth century in an attempt to quell dissent. Nevertheless, beautiful examples, such as this stunning vessel, survived the massive purges. Cf.
