Inca Porters Carried Pointed-Bottom Beer Jars on Their Backs, then Planted Them into the Earth to Serve Ritual Chicha|尖底酒甕背著走,到場後直接插進土裡站穩供酒
WHAT 這是什麼
The Met describes large Inca urpus used to carry and serve aqha (chicha) at ritual celebrations sponsored by the Inca state. Ropes passed through handles and a central lug allowed porters to carry them on their backs, while the pointed bases could be set into the earth for stability.
WHY HERE 為什麼屬於底域的世界
一件容器的形狀同時編排運輸與宴飲:尖底不是缺陷,而是讓人能把整只酒甕『種』進地面再進入儀式服務。
BLIND SPOT 補了哪一塊少看的視角
此件本身較小,館頁也提到小型 urpu 可能有 votive 用途;不能把大型器物的每個搬運細節全部強加給這一件。
