This Nazca ceramic cup, dating back to 180-500 CE, depicts a costumed ritual performer. The intricate polychrome design, characteristic of Nazca art, features geometric patterns, stylized figures, and a prominent eye motif. This small cup, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, reflects the vibrant artistic tradition of the ancient Nazca culture and their fascination with ritual and the supernatural.
