介绍（中）	在印加时代，陶瓷的生产和分销由国家控制。在印加帝国首都库斯科及其附近制造和使用的作品被称为库斯科印加风格。这些陶瓷以精湛的工艺为特征，显示出有限范围的独特形式和设计，但一些独特且极具吸引力和创造性的形状;本例属于这一类。浅而略微弯曲的碗位于三个短支架上;里面有一个较小的碗。两只长颈动物，一只美洲驼和一只鸟，连接在一侧，分别连接到内碗和外碗;它们用作浇注喷口。第三种动物（可能是猫科动物）的细长斑点身体披在大碗顶部的一部分上，爪子抓住边缘。该容器在浅黄色上涂有黑色和红色的滑漆;外墙周围是描绘昆虫的分段带。该容器可能用作paccha或仪式器皿，用于将chicha（玉米啤酒）等酒倒在地球上，以确保丰收作物的肥力和生长。所描绘的动物可能指的是印加帝国的多样化环境区域：长颈海鸟可能象征着西部的海洋，美洲驼象征着中部的高安第斯山脉，猫科动物象征着东部的热带雨林。
介绍（英）	During Inca times, the production and distribution of ceramics was controlled by the state. Those made and used in Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire, and its vicinity are known as Cuzco Inca style. Characterized by superb craftsmanship, these ceramics show a limited range of distinctive forms and designs but some unique and exceptionally appealing and creative shapes; the present example falls into that category. The shallow, slightly incurved bowl sits on three short supports; it has a smaller bowl inside. Two long-necked animals, a llama and a bird, are attached on one side and connected to the inner and outer bowls respectively; they serve as pouring spouts. The slender, spotted body of a third animal, probably a feline, is draped over part of the top of the larger bowl, its paws gripping the rim. The vessel is slip-painted in black and red over buff; around the outer wall is a segmented band depicting insects. The vessel probably served as a paccha, or ceremonial vessel used for pouring libations such as chicha (maize beer) on the earth to ensure fertility and growth of plentiful crops. The animals depicted may refer to the diverse environmental regions of the Inca empire: the long-necked seabird may symbolize the ocean in the west, the llama the high Andes mountains in the center, and the feline the rainforest in the east.
