介绍（中）	这只陶瓷碗边缘的人头被一条水平的凸耳状"尾巴"平衡，这是这一时期碗的常见特征。虽然具有明显的实用目的，但尾巴是对头部的视觉赞美和形式上的平衡，具有明显的人类特征。面朝碗中，高高的鼻子和蓬松的眼睛的圆形头部顶部有一系列有趣的结，这些结可能表示一种特殊的发型，可能表示等级或地位密西西比陶器在19世纪末和20世纪初被大量发现，当时中西部和南部的大片地区开始被广泛耕种，古老的土堆被打碎或犁倒。这些船只通常与实际的土堆有关，或埋在土堆中，当时被称为"造丘者"，而谁制造它们的问题一直是人们猜测的主题。它们现在被认为是由密西西比文化的人民制造的，密西西比文化在欧洲人到达北美之前的几个世纪末蓬勃发展。目前的例子是1879年送给博物馆的早期礼物中的一个。当时，他们来自密苏里州密西西比河上一个名为新马德里的土堆。
介绍（英）	The human head poised on the rim of this ceramic bowl is counterbalanced by a horizontal luglike "tail," a common feature on bowls of this period. While of apparent practical purpose, the tail is a visual compliment and formal balance to the head with its discernibly human aspect. Facing into the bowl, the round head with its high nose and puffy eyes is topped by a series of intriguing knots that may indicate a special hairstyle, perhaps denoting rank or status. Mississippian pottery was discovered in quantity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when large stretches of the Midwest and South began to be extensively farmed and the ancient mounds were broken into or plowed down. Often associated with, or buried in, actual mounds, the vessels were dubbed moundbuilder at the time, and the question of who made them was a subject of much conjecture. They are now understood to have been made by the peoples of the Mississippian culture, which flourished in the late centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America. The present example is one of a number of ceramic vessels that, in 1879, was an early gift to the Museum. At the time they were to be from a mound site called New Madrid on the Mississippi River in Missouri.
