Lovely example! Chimu culture, northern Peru, Ca 1200 to 1470 AD. Solid silver kero in the form of a person, with typical exaggerated nose, almond-shaped eyes and pursed lips. The rear of the kero shows signs of original textiles that the piece was laid against, which after 600 years adhered to the surface. 5-1/2"H, intact and near choice.
