EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Double-Faced Cup, crafted between 900-1100 AD by the SicAan Culture of Peru. Made from gold and measuring 14x11.8x11.8 cm, this exquisite artifact is housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. Part of a remarkable collection of 176 beakers discovered within a single tomb at Huaca El Corte in northern Peru, this cup holds immense historical significance. The Nora and John Wise Collection gifted it to the museum through generous contributions from 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. The intricate craftsmanship on this double-faced cup is truly mesmerizing; two distinct faces are skillfully carved into its surface with meticulous attention to detail. The golden hue adds an air of opulence to this ancient treasure. As an important pre-Columbian artifact from South America's rich cultural heritage, it serves as a testament to the advanced artistic skills possessed by civilizations that thrived centuries ago. This cup not only represents grave goods but also symbolizes the ingenuity and creativity prevalent during that era. Photographed by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, this image allows us to appreciate both sides of history - one face looking back at our past while another gazes forward into our future.
