O soše
Cup with Four Faces, made between 600 and 1000, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The four faces have wide-open eyes, but whom they represent remains unknown. The vessel’s use is also uncertain. Its small size seems unsuitable for beer drinking at the feasts through which Wari hosts placed guests under obligations. A more private occasion is possible: the cup may have held liquid offerings to sacred powers understood to animate the surrounding landscape. It is displayed in gallery 232, Andean art.
Slovy muzea
The identity of the four, wide-eyed faces on this cup is unknown. Equally mysterious is the cup’s function. It seems too small to be used for drinking beer at the feasts the Wari sponsored to put others in their debt. The size may suggest the cup was used in more intimate circumstances, perhaps to make libations to sacred forces that animated the ancient landscape.
