介绍（中）	大约一千年前，新墨西哥州名布雷斯谷的人们生产了许多陶瓷器皿，上面装饰着精致的鸟类、动物和人类的彩绘图像，以及它们的组合。Mimbres图像主要在或多或少的白色地面上以黑色完成，因其自发性和个性而引人注目。没有其他西南民族以类似的方式装饰陶瓷器皿。虽然许多名布雷斯碗具有几何图案 - 常见的区域装饰模式 - 但比喻和叙事图像是公元二千年早期几个世纪明布雷斯山谷人民所独有的。人物的配对非常受青睐。鹿、羚羊、兔子和山羊——后者在这里的碗里看到——最常以这种方式描绘。这些碗主要是在地下墓葬中发现的，通常只有一个埋葬，在那里它们被放在死者的脸上。许多人被刺穿或"杀死"，这种杀戮孔的意义尚不清楚。对他们的解释范围从使碗在功能上无用到让他们或死者的灵魂逃脱。
介绍（英）	About a thousand years ago, the peoples of the Mimbres Valley of New Mexico produced many ceramic vessels decorated with sophisticated painted images of birds, animals, and men, and combinations thereof. Done primarily in black on a more-or-less white ground, the Mimbres images are noteworthy for their spontaneity and individuality. No other group of Southwestern peoples decorated ceramic vessels in a similar manner. While many Mimbres bowls feature geometric patterns—the common regional mode of embellishment—the figurative and narrative imagery is unique to the peoples of the Mimbres Valley in the early centuries of the second millennium A.D. The pairing of figures is much favored. Deer, antelope, rabbits, and mountain sheep—the latter seen in the bowl here—are most frequently depicted in this manner. The bowls have largely been discovered in subfloor burials, customarily only one to a burial, where they were placed over the face of the deceased. Many are pierced, or "killed," and the significance of such kill-holes is unclear. Explanations for them range from rendering the bowls functionally useless to allowing their spirit, or that of the deceased, to escape.
