Beaker with geometric design "keru"
The Incas tried to secure the cooperation of their subjects through gifts. These included mainly high-quality textiles, but also kero beakers. The higher the social status of the recipient, the more valuable the material of which the keru was made. These beakers were most probably made in pairs, like most ceramics. Unfortunately only very few pairs have survived. Kerus were made of different materials. Besides wood, clay and precious metals were also used.
