介绍（中）	镫壶（名字指的是壶嘴形状，类似于马鞍镫）始于公元前两千年初，用于仪式。在秘鲁北部海岸的精英墓葬中发现了大量的镫壶，展现了无与伦比的技术和艺术技巧。许多被精心制作成三维雕塑，包括人类、植物、动物和超自然生物；其他显示了广泛的表面纹理。大多数瓶子是在还原气氛中烧制而成的单色灰色到棕黑色。由于不均匀地暴露在火和空气中，这艘船的表面呈现出不规则的深色。一个生物的侧面，也许是一只猫科动物，被刻在球状腔室光滑的表面上。一条过长的拖缆或舌头从嘴巴伸到船底，一只睁大的眼睛从一个突出的、扫过的眉毛下威胁性地凝视着。大型猫科动物，尤其是美洲豹，是丘比特的重要象征，经常被描绘在仪式陶瓷和寺庙墙壁上。作为美国热带地区最大、最令人恐惧的捕食者，美洲豹是力量和侵略性的自然象征。
介绍（英）	Stirrup-spout bottles (the name refers to the spout shape, which resembles a riding saddle stirrup) were made for ritual use beginning in the early second millennium B.C. Large numbers of them have been found in elite burials on Peru's northern coast and display unequalled technical and artistic skill. Many are elaborated into three-dimensional sculptures, including humans, plants, animals, and supernatural beings; others show a wide range of surface texturing. The majority of the bottles are a monochrome gray-to-brown black color resulting from firing in a reducing atmosphere. The uneven exposure to fire and air left the surface on this vessel with an irregular dark hue. The profile face of a creature, perhaps a feline, is incised into the well-burnished surface of the globular chamber. An excessively long streamer or tongue projects from the mouth to the bottom of the vessel, and a wide-open eye stares menacingly from under a prominent, sweeping brow. Large felines, particularly jaguars, were important Cupisnique symbols and were frequently depicted on ritual ceramics and temple walls. As the largest and most feared predator in the American tropics, the jaguar was a natural symbol of power and aggression.
