介绍（中）	厄瓜多尔中部海岸的巴伊亚人延续了陶瓷雕像制作的悠久传统。它始于公元前三千年的该地区，一直持续到十六世纪西班牙征服。巴伊亚小雕像数量众多，风格、大小和技术各不相同。有些是手工建模的，有些是在模具中制作的。还有一些是部分模具制造和部分手工建模，就像这里的情况一样。由厚粘土制成的引人注目的大而空心的人物描绘了一个坐着的女人，她的短腿伸展在前面。她抱着一个小小的身影，也许是一个婴儿，好像在呈现它。她肩膀宽阔，戴着一条简单的项链，下身覆盖着一条带图案的裙子，在她不成比例的大头上戴着一个帽子状的头饰。小鼻环和耳饰点缀着这两个人物。烧制后涂上黄色、红色、白色和黑色油漆。巴伊亚人物可能是仪式活动的一部分。拉普拉塔岛上的一个考古遗址发现了一大堆碎片，估计大约有一千个小雕像。也许这是一个朝圣地，祭品被仪式性地打破和存放。
介绍（英）	The Bahía peoples on Ecuador's central coast continued the long tradition of ceramic figurine making. Begun in the region in the third millennium B.C., it persisted until the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century. Bahía figurines are numerous and vary in style, size, and technique. Some are modeled by hand, others are made in molds. Still others are partially mold-made and partially hand modeled, as is the case here. The striking large, hollow figure made of thick clay depicts a seated woman with her short legs stretched out in front. She holds a small figure, perhaps an infant, as if presenting it. Broad-shouldered, she wears a simple necklace while her lower body is covered with a patterned skirt, and on her disproportionately large head is a caplike headdress. Small nose rings and ear ornaments embellish both figures. Yellow, red, white, and black paint was applied after firing. Bahía figures were probably part of ritual activity. An archaeological site on La Plata Island yielded a large pile of fragments estimated to represent about a thousand figurines. Perhaps this was a pilgrimage site where offerings were ritually broken and deposited.
