Keros (Beakers)--The most common form is a bell-shaped beaker with a flat base, though some have a pedestal like a goblet. Decoration varies with the period:

Inca: Generally they are incised with geometric designs on the entire exterior.
Colonial Inca: Lacquer painted on the exterior to depict scenes of daily life, nature, and war.
