From: Isotopic composition of lead white pigments on qeros: implications for the chronology and production of Andean ritual drinking vessels during the colonial era

Fig. 1

Examples of qeros from each isotopic grouping identified in this study. a AMNH B9165; b BMA 1993.2; c NMAI 17/5445. Isotopic measurements suggest that the lead white pigments on qeros in panels (a) and (b) are of European origin while those on the qero in panel (c) are derived from an Andean source. The qeros in panels (a) and (b) have been attributed to the late 1500 s or early 1600 s on the basis of style [19, 77] while the qero in panel (c) has been attributed to the 1700 s [1]
