介绍（中）	自 16 世纪以来，玻利维亚高地的的喀喀湖南岸附近的蒂瓦纳库市一直以其石头建筑和气势磅礴、雕刻精美的石雕而闻名。蒂瓦纳库存在的一种柱状石像的小型版本，大小达到二十四英尺高，这个人物被认为描绘了一个精英血统的创始人。虽然全尺寸雕塑可能是纪念祖先的公共仪式的一部分，但较小的版本可能是上层阶级家庭或氏族举行的私人仪式。该人物包含在石块的大致矩形范围内，有一个大头，顶部是带有下巴带的普通帽子。突出的方形，略微凸出的眼睛下面切着小轮廓的动物头，像一条眼泪带。这个人物拿着两个物体——可能是鼻烟盘——风格化的、对称的双手紧紧地握在他没有衣服的胸前。带有图案的短裙带有精致的切割设计，风格化的面部和对角线的正方形覆盖了下半身。这是从该时期的纺织品中知道的安排。一条宽腰带环绕腰部，以保持苏格兰短裙就位。它装饰着带射线的奖章，让人想起蒂瓦纳库主神祇的射线面孔。
介绍（英）	The city of Tiwanaku near the southern shore of Lake Titicaca in the Bolivian highlands has been renowned for its stone architecture and imposing, finely carved stone sculptures since the sixteenth century. A small version of a type of columnar stone image that existed at Tiwanaku in sizes that reach twenty-four feet in height, this figure is thought to depict an elite lineage founder. While the full-size sculptures may have been part of public rituals honoring ancestors, the smaller version may have been for private ceremonies conducted by upper-class families or clans. Contained within the roughly rectangular confines of the stone block, the figure has a large head topped by a plain cap with a chin strap. Prominent square, slightly bulging eyes have small profile animal heads incised below them like a band of tears. The figure holds two objects—possibly snuff trays—with stylized, symmetrical hands tightly clasped to his unclad chest. A patterned kilt with a delicately incised design of stylized faces and squares in diagonals covers the lower body. It is an arrangement known from textiles of the period. A wide belt encircles the waist to keep the kilt in place. It is decorated with rayed medallions reminiscent of the rayed face of Tiwanaku's principal deity.
