This "Ceremonial Vessel (Aryballos)" is a pottery artifact from the Inca civilization, crafted sometime between 1400 and 1532. Its dark brown clay body boasts a distinctive geometric design of incised chevron patterns, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the Inca people. The vessel's narrow neck and rounded body, with its two small looped handles, suggest its use in rituals or ceremonies. Now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this piece offers a glimpse into the sophisticated craftsmanship and cultural practices of pre-Columbian South America.
