GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The silver cup represents the formal diversity associated with Late Horizon (1400-1532 CE) vessels. This example exhibits the remains of plain weave textile still adhering to the outer metal surface, signifying that it was wrapped at the time of deposition. The structure of the weave suggests its provenience from the north coast of modern-day Peru, as do the avian figures depicted in profile around the base.
