EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a "Pedestal Kero with musicians" created between 1630 and 1780 by Incan artists. Made from wood and adorned with lacquer-like paint, this ceremonial cup stands at an impressive size of 17.78x10.64x21.43 cm. Housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, this piece belongs to The Nora and John Wise Collection as a bequest from John Wise in 1983. It is a remarkable example of Post-Conquest Inca artistry. The term "Kero" refers to an ancient South American ceremonial cup, which holds great cultural significance for indigenous communities. This particular Kero features intricately carved musicians on its pedestal, showcasing the artistic talent prevalent during that era. Dating back to the seventeenth century, this artifact provides us with a glimpse into history's rich tapestry. Its presence evokes images of vibrant celebrations and rituals that took place centuries ago. The combination of wood and lacquer-like paint adds depth and richness to its overall appearance while highlighting the skillful technique employed by Incan artisans. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion of artistry and spirituality within South America's pre-Columbian cultures. It serves as a testament to their ingenuity and creativity that continues to captivate audiences today. Through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing every intricate detail, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance embedded within this masterpiece—a true treasure preserved for generations to come.
