Pre-Columbian, from Northern Peru, Chimu, Ca 1200 to 1400 AD. Silver kero used for drinking Chicha (Inca beer) made from hand-hammered sheet silver. Typical funnel-shaped body with very thin rim and narrow foot. 6"H x 5-1/16" base diameter, intact, save one or two small holes in body and a bit of minor distortion/creasing from age. Still a nice example!
