介绍（中）	尽管人们认为，用石头、木材和皮革等多种材料制作的代表性图像已经在西南部生产了数千年，但将此类图像放在陶瓷器皿上的习俗直到公元前一千年中期才变得普遍，陶瓷器皿主要是在家庭环境中用于制备和储存食物的实用碗和罐子。他们的生产早在几百年前就在该地区建立了。然而，圆底碗一旦在内部涂上了油漆，便成为西南地区最受欢迎的形式，不仅用于实用目的。成百上千的船只是由不同民族生产的。来自新墨西哥州米姆布雷斯山谷的9至12世纪的碗在内部装饰上特别独特，其中有来自西南部的动物形象。兔子，实际上是米姆布雷斯山谷人民的食用动物，是一个经常出现的主题。兔子成对或单独出现在一系列风格化的表演中，从这里的胖兔子到长着翅膀状耳朵的细长动物。
介绍（英）	Although representational images made on materials of many sorts—for instance, stone, wood, and leather—are believed to have been produced in the Southwest for thousands of years, the custom of putting such images on ceramic vessels became common only after the middle of the first millennium A.D. Fabricated from fired clay, the ceramic vessels were primarily utilitarian bowls and jars used in domestic contexts for the preparation and storage of food. Their production had been established in the area a few hundred years earlier. However, once elaborated with painted surfaces on the inside, the round-bottom bowls became a much favored Southwestern form, used not just for utilitarian purposes. Many, many hundreds of vessels were produced by a variety of different peoples. Ninth- to twelfth-century bowls from the Mimbres Valley of New Mexico are particularly distinctive in their interior decoration, with images of animals native to the Southwest. The rabbit, actually a food animal to the peoples of the Mimbres Valley, was a frequent motif. In pairs or singly, rabbits appear in a range of stylized renditions, from plump bunnies, as here, to elongated animals with winglike ears.
