"Kerus" are beakers from which corn beer, chicha, was drunk at festivals and rituals. The production of this corn beer was the responsibility of the accla, the chosen women who were brought to Cusco and the major administrative centres from all over the Inca Empire. They lived there in the acclahuasi, the cloister-like residential buildings built especially for them.
