- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, north coast Peru, Sican / Lambayeque culture, ca. 750 to 1370 CE. A fine ceremonial drinking vessel known as a kero (also quero) that is shaped from a thin sheet of 98% silver. The conical vessel presents with a planar base and a slightly corseted midsection, a flared upper body and lip, and a deep basin. Surrounding the upper body is a repeating program of left-facing, winged characters in repousse, perhaps representing Naylamp, the traditional founder of the Lambayeque dynasty. Lustrous patina envelops the entire exterior of the vessel in a wash of reflective color! Size: 3.8" W x 4.7" H (9.7 cm x 11.9 cm); quality of silver: 98%; total weight: 59.4 grams
