This Nazca ceramic beaker, dating from 180 to 500 CE, depicts a ritual figure adorned with bird attributes. The figure's costume, with large, stylized eyes, suggests a supernatural being. The beaker's design, executed in red, brown, and white pigments, exemplifies the intricate and expressive art of the Nazca culture. This piece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring power of ancient Peruvian artistic traditions.
