介绍（中）	公元第一个千年中期后，安第斯山脉中部和南部地区广泛使用了带有扩口边缘的圆柱形杯子，称为keros。人们认为，用陶瓷、木材、金或银制成的烧杯用于食用菊苣。一种发酵的玉米啤酒，在仪式和社交聚会上饮用。几百年来，陶瓷围巾上装饰着猫、猛禽和蛇的形象。这种烧杯可能起源于厄瓜多尔南部高地的Cañari人制作的杯子，其一侧通常有雕刻和风格化的人脸。15世纪末，当卡纳里地区落入印卡的控制之下时，头巾上绘有印卡美学所特有的工整的、小规模的几何图案。在这个kero上，设计被分成几个水平寄存器。在顶部和底部，两个带有红色交叉阴影的窄条带在白色边框上形成了宽的中央寄存器。
介绍（英）	Cylindrical cups with flaring rims, called keros, were widely used in the central and southern Andes after the middle of the first millennium A.D. The beakers—made of ceramic, wood, gold, or silver—are thought to have been used for the consumption of chicha. A fermented corn beer, chicha was drunk during ceremonial as well as social gatherings. Ceramic keros were decorated for many centuries with images of felines, raptors, and snakes. Those made by the Cañari people in the southern highlands of Ecuador, where this beaker may have originated, often feature sculpted and stylized human faces on one side. When the Cañari region came under Inka control in the late fifteenth century, keros were painted with neatly drawn, small-scale geometric designs characteristic of Inka aesthetics. On this kero, the design is divided into several horizontal registers. At the top and bottom, two narrow bands with red crosshatching over white frame the wide central register.
