介绍（中）	兰巴耶克山谷是西坎（或兰巴耶克）陶瓷风格的发源地。它在公元第一个千年末发展，一直持续到十四世纪末，当时该地区被不断扩张的奇穆王国征服。西坎陶工生产了一系列容器形式;最常见的是带有带柄和基座底座的带嘴瓶，如本例所示。Sicán陶瓷制作精良，比例优雅，往往是重复的和高度风格化的，这些特征源于几乎完全使用模具和强调大规模生产。Sicán模具很复杂，底座，喷口和腔室可以在一次操作中生产。西坎艺术中最具特色的图案是所谓的西坎领主的正面。它广泛出现在陶瓷、金属制品、纺织品和壁画上。在这个瓶子上，主有一双杏仁形的眼睛，突出的尖鼻子和方形的尖牙嘴。他的耳朵是三角形的突起，下面有圆形的耳饰，有分层的流苏。他戴着由瓶子的锥形嘴形成的圆锥形头饰。他的两侧是坐在房间肩膀上的模特猫科动物。
介绍（英）	The Lambayeque Valley was home to the Sicán (or Lambayeque) ceramic style. Developing toward the end of the first millennium A.D., it continued until the end of the fourteenth century when the region was conquered by the expanding Chimú kingdom. Sicán potters produced a range of vessel forms; the most common is the spouted bottle with strap handle and pedestal base, as on this example. Sicán ceramics, well made and elegantly proportioned, tend to be repetitive and highly stylized, characteristics resulting from the almost exclusive use of molds and the emphasis on mass production. Sicán molds were complex and bases, spouts, and chambers could be produced in a single operation. The most characteristic motif in Sicán art is the frontal face of the so-called Sicán Lord. It is widely seen on ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and mural painting. On this bottle, the Lord has the characteristic almond-shaped eyes, prominent pointed nose, and square, fanged mouth. His ears are triangular projections with circular ear ornaments below with layered tassels. He wears a conical headdress formed by the tapering spout of the bottle. He is flanked by modeled felines sitting on the chamber's shoulder.
