In ancient Cuzco, a ceremonial vessel takes shape as a foot wearing a sandal. Created to serve a higher purpose, this vessel likely played a key role in sacred rituals, where chicha flowed freely. Brewed from corn, the revered beverage was an integral part of Inca state ceremonies and social gatherings, forging bonds between people and reinforcing community ties. Scanned by the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Chile, this artifact now yields its secrets to modern eyes.
