介绍（中）	阿兹特克雕刻家使用了特定的形式和美学惯例来描绘人物。坐着的女性人物通常是双腿夹在下面，双脚向内弯曲，以便脚趾在后面接触。他们的手放在膝盖上。这尊雕塑描绘了一位优雅的阿兹特克女士，她穿着一条简单的短裙，腰间系着一条低浮雕的打结腰带。她没有穿上衣。圆形装饰物装饰着她的耳朵。她的头发以两股缠绕在头上，并保持在顶部。她的脸有着精致圆润的轮廓，柔和地充满活力。眼睛和嘴巴显示为凹陷的椭圆形，其中曾经包含嵌体。在阿兹特克艺术中，没有任何神灵属性的女性雕塑是罕见的。这一人物可能是在仪式日历的特定日子穿着由布料和/或其他易腐烂材料制成的神灵服饰。
介绍（英）	Aztec sculptors used specific formal and aesthetic conventions to depict the human figure. Seated female figures are usually shown with their legs tucked under them, their feet turned inward so that in the back their toes are touching. Their hands rest on their knees. This sculpture depicts an elegant Aztec lady wearing a short, simple skirt fastened around the waist with a knotted belt worked in low relief. She wears no upper garment. Circular ornaments bedeck her ears. Her hair is wound about her head in two strands and held at the top. Her face has delicate rounded contours and is gently animated. The eyes and mouth are shown as recessed ovals which once contained inlays. Sculptures of females without any deity attributes are rare in Aztec art. It is possible that this figure was dressed on specific days of the ritual calendar in deity costumes made of cloth and/or other perishable materials.
