EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the mid 17th to late 18th century. Titled "Kero with agricultural ceremony scene" this ancient ceremonial cup is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of South America, specifically the Incan civilization. Crafted from wood, copper, and paint, this Kero stands at an impressive height of 20.64 cm. It currently resides in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA as part of The Nora and John Wise Collection. The intricate design on the Kero depicts an agricultural ceremony scene, offering us a glimpse into the rituals and traditions that were practiced during that time period. This artwork represents not only artistic excellence but also serves as a valuable anthropological artifact for understanding Incan culture post-conquest. A Kero itself holds great significance in ancient South American societies. Used ceremonially, it played an important role in religious rituals and social gatherings. Its presence symbolized unity among communities and served as a vessel for offerings or libations. The bequest of John Wise in 1983 has allowed this extraordinary piece to be preserved for generations to come. Its inclusion within The Nora and John Wise Collection further solidifies its importance within the realm of fine art. As we admire this photograph print by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize its historical value as it sheds light on centuries-old customs and beliefs held by our ancestors in Latin America's vibrant past.
