Beaker with Frogs, 900-1100. Creator: Unknown.

Légende

Beaker with Frogs, 900-1100. This beaker was created by an artist of the Lambayeque culture of Peru's north coast. High-relief frogs grace the surface, which has a dramatically flaring rim as well as a silvery colour, the result of silver in the alloy. If such beakers were used in life?that is, not created exclusively for the lavish tombs in which they have been found in quantities?they may have figured in feasting events that were central to late pre-Hispanic political, social, and religious life.
