This close-up print showcases a remarkable piece of craftsmanship known as the Stepped Beaker, dating back to A. D. 1000/1532. Created by an unknown artist, this beaker is a testament to the artistic excellence of the Incan civilization in South America during the 12th to 15th centuries. The beaker's tiered structure is beautifully depicted in vibrant shades of green, highlighting its intricate design and attention to detail. Made from copper alloy, this decorative drinking vessel reflects the rich heritage art of Peru. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Americas gallery, this metalwork object offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Peruvian culture and their mastery over metal craftsmanship.

The Stepped Beaker serves as a tangible link between past civilizations and contemporary audiences who are captivated by its beauty. Through such exquisite pieces like this one, we gain insight into different cultures and continents while appreciating the immense creativity that transcends time.
