This 4-inch ceremonial vessel, made between 1430 to 1660, features Inca men beside four stalks of teosinte bowing under its heavy grain heads. From this grass, the Inca developed corn on a cob. This new grain was brought from Mexico northward into South and North Dakota with the earliest corn cobs the size of a thumb. Over time, this new grain was engineered to become larger.
