- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, north coast Peru, Sican-Lambayeque transition period, ca. 750 to 1000 CE. A fantastic and sizable example of a kero (also quero) of an elongated, spool-shaped form. The vessel bears a planar base, a gently corseted body, a shoulder embellished with 2 pairs of parallel repousse stripes, and a dramatically flared rim surrounding the deep interior cavity. Adorning one area of the shoulder is a charming pair of pelicans with plump bodies standing atop slender legs, feathery tails, curving necks, and ovoid heads with curved, aquiline beaks. Lustrous patina envelops the entire surface to create an attractive presentation. Size: 5.2" W x 7.9" H (13.2 cm x 20.1 cm); quality of silver: 97.3%; total weight: 101.6 grams
