A kero, a wooden ritual cup from the early colonial period (height 19.5 cm). The colourful illustrations in the style of the chronicler Huamán Poma de Ayala depict the Inca on his golden throne holding keros – on this side, however, only two warriors with spears and shields can be seen. The graphic representations on the central ring are interpreted as tocapus or a form of writing. Museo de la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín, Arequipa, Peru. - Book: Picture 128 - Peru - 1976
