Title |
Kero with Jaguar Handle |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: "Keros" were conical drinking vessels used throughout the Inca empire for the ritual consumption of "chicha" (maize beer). While the elite drank from gold and silver "keros," local administrators exchanged wooden "keros." The jaguar-like creature clinging to this "kero's" rim may be a "katari," a fantastic animal combining feline and reptilian characteristics. |
