EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Incan culture - a Jaguar shaped wooden kero. Dating back to the 15th century, this piece of pre-Columbian art is an exquisite representation of the rich history and vibrant culture that once thrived in ancient Peru. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and contour of this wooden masterpiece. The deep, earthy tones of the wood create a striking contrast against the jaguar's fierce expression, bringing it to life even after centuries have passed. This kero was likely used for ceremonial purposes or as a sacred vessel, symbolizing power and strength within Incan society. Displayed at the Museum of America in Madrid, Spain, this artifact stands as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity during one of South America's most significant civilizations. Its vertical shape commands attention while its unknown origins add an air of mystery surrounding its creation. Photographed by Santiago Ortega with great precision, this image captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes curiosity about its cultural significance. As we admire this extraordinary piece from afar, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with our ancestors' stories.
