介绍（中）	这个漂亮的碗是秃鹫的形状。通过其弯曲的大喙顶部的肉质突起来识别，鸟的身体形成了连接头部、翅膀和尾巴的容器。头部移动，逼真地呈现出圆形、中空的眼睛，从结实的波点脖子上露出。画在容器壁上的羽毛褶皱构成了连接碗的颈部。这种鸟的翅膀以基本的方式被加工成从碗的两侧突出的凹槽凸缘，而尾巴是一个向上弯曲的管子，可以用作喷口或把手。这个碗属于1521年西班牙征服之前的最后几个世纪在墨西哥湾沿岸制作的一种独特的本地化陶瓷风格。韦拉克鲁斯港入口处有一个小岛，西班牙人在那里发现了心脏牺牲的受害者，他们将其命名为"牺牲岛"，这种风格通常以浅黄色背景上的白色、棕色和红色装饰带为特色。
介绍（英）	This handsome bowl is in the shape of a vulture. Identified by the fleshy protuberance at the top of its big, curved beak, the bird's body forms the container to which the head, wings, and tail are attached. The head moves and is realistically rendered with round, hollow eyes that emerge from a strong, polka-dotted neck. A ruff of feathers painted on the wall of the vessel frames the neck as it joins the bowl. The bird's wings are worked in rudimentary fashion as grooved flanges projecting from opposite sides of the bowl, while the tail is an up-curving tube which could have served as a spout or handle. The bowl belongs to a distinctive localized ceramic style made on the Gulf Coast of Mexico during the last few centuries before the Spanish conquest in 1521. Identified with a small island situated at the entrance to the port of Veracruz, named Isla de Sacrificios by the Spaniards, who found victims of heart sacrifice there, the style typically features decorative bands in white, brown, and red on a buff-colored background.
