%X Los queros fueron un sistema de soporte que reaccion¨® r¨¢pidamente a los est¨ªmulos visuales de la pintura europea del Cinquecento: casi inmediatamente despu¨¦s del arribo hispano a "las Indias", dichas piezas mostraron cambios iconogr¨¢ficos. As¨ª, los queros inkaicos cusque os -vasos de madera con dise os geom¨¦tricos abstractos que funcionaron, a su vez, como soporte de una memoria inka- sufrieron un giro pict¨®rico hacia otras piezas llamadas "queros de la transici¨®n", que presentan significantes visuales de trato m¨¢s figurativo y mayor policrom¨ªa que sus predecesoras. Tal como en la ¨¦poca inka, estos queros de la transici¨®n continuaron vinculados a las ¨¦lites cusque as, soportando, por tanto, no una sola memoria social andina colonial sino, m¨¢s bien, distintas memorias particulares en competencia que correspond¨ªan a cada una de las panacas ind¨ªgenas. El presente art¨ªculo intenta demostrar que los cambios iconogr¨¢ficos detectados en los queros de la transici¨®n estuvieron relacionados con la necesidad de las ¨¦lites cusque as de seguir plasmando sus respectivos relatos de memoria, sus "ritos del pasado". The quero vessels were a cultural support system that reacted rapidly to the visual incentives of 16th Century European paintings. Thus, these pieces began to display iconographic changes almost immediately after the Spanish arrival in ¡°the Indies.¡± In this regard, the Cusco-made Inka quero vessels-wooden cups with abstract geometric designs that themselves sustained the Inka memory-underwent a decorative transformation, giving way to the so-called ¡°transitional queros.¡± These cups displayed visual signifiers that were more figurative and polychromatic than their predecessors. As in the Inka period, these transitional quero vessels continued to be associated with the Cusco elite, and therefore carried not a single collective memory of Andean colonial times, but distinct personal memories in competition with one another, which corresponded to each of the noble lineages of the native Cusque os. This article attempts to demonstrate that the iconographic changes detected in the transitional quero vessels responded to the Cusco nobles¡¯ need to tell and retell their respective histories, their ¡°rites of the past.¡±
