介绍（中）	Moche陶瓷器皿是在专门的车间制造的，从粘土的制备到烧制过程，陶瓷生产的每一步都是在现场进行的。容器是用两件式模具制造的，有利于倍数的生产。在成型过程之后，陶工们小心地添加了把手、喷口和小细节，在这种情况下是切割的肋骨和建模的手臂。莫切陶瓷中经常描绘骨骼个体，可能象征着生与死之间的相互作用和互补性。有人认为，在摩切宗教中，生与死之间的过渡阶段是由过渡生物的存在来表达的，如猿猴个体和动画死者。在彩绘或雕刻的器皿中，动画骷髅跳舞、拥抱、用长笛和拨浪鼓演奏音乐、携带陪葬品或进行性活动。这对怀抱孩子的骨瘦如柴的夫妇也许说明了死亡是生命更新的必要阶段。
介绍（英）	Moche ceramic vessels were made in specialized workshops where every step of ceramic production was undertaken in situ, from the preparation of clays to the firing process. Vessels were made with two-piece molds, facilitating the production of multiples. After the molding process, potters carefully added handles, spouts, and small details, in this case the incised ribs and modeled arms. Skeletal individuals are often depicted in Moche ceramics, probably symbolizing the interplay and complementarity between life and death. It has been suggested that in Moche religion, a transitory stage between life and death is expressed by the existence of transitional beings such as simian individuals and the animated deceased. In painted or sculpted vessels, animated skeletons dance, embrace, play music with flutes and rattles, carry funerary offerings, or engage in sexual activities. This embracing skeletal couple with child perhaps illustrates death as a necessary stage for the renewal of life.
