This small, intricately decorated jar was created by the Inca civilization sometime between 1450 and 1532. The jar is made of terracotta and features a geometric pattern that resembles woven textiles. The geometric shapes are painted in black and white on a reddish-brown background. The jar is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago and stands as a testament to the artistic skill and cultural heritage of the Inca people.
