Goblet in the form of a head c. 14th century

This ceramic goblet in the form of a head, crafted by the Inca in the 14th century, is a fascinating example of Pre-Columbian art. The vessel's distinctive form, characterized by a stylized human face with prominent features, is a testament to the Inca's skill in pottery and their belief in the importance of human representation in their art. The use of earthy tones and geometric patterns adds to the vessel's visual appeal, making it a significant piece of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection.
