介绍（中）	在古代秘鲁人带到坟墓的随葬品中，经常会发现各种形状和大小的碗和瓶子。瓶子和碗里都装着食物，但即使在几个世纪后，由于极端干燥的气候，碗里的东西仍然或多或少完好无损，瓶子通常是空的。它们无疑含有一种液体，也许是水。在秘鲁南太平洋海岸的干旱地区，发现了这个瓶子，山谷中只有安第斯山脉的稀疏河水，但地下水绿洲提供了足够的补充水分，以支持一定规模和中等财富的社区，特别是在伊卡和纳卡山谷。这个漂亮的圆形和成品瓶是公元前一千年在该地区生产的精美陶瓷器皿的一个例子。马镫形壶嘴的一个分支的连接处有一个不同寻常的奇怪的头部，其意义尚不确定。头部被涂成黄色，有一个宽阔的红色嘴巴，一个大的哈巴狗鼻子，红色的耳朵，有着丰满的圆形耳环，还有一个顶结。它的前额上有一个围绕红色中心的同心圆装饰的大型装饰物。最神秘的是，它失去了一只眼睛。
介绍（英）	Bowls and bottles in various shapes and sizes are consistently found among the burial goods that ancient Peruvian peoples took with them to their graves. Both the bottles and bowls contained foodstuffs, but while the contents of the bowls remain more or less intact, even centuries later, due to the extremely dry climate, the bottles are usually empty. They undoubtedly contained a liquid, perhaps water. In the arid region on the southern Pacific coast of Peru where this bottle was found, the valleys had only sparse river water from the Andes, but groundwater oases provided enough supplemental moisture to support communities of some size and moderate wealth, particularly in the Ica and Naca valleys. This beautifully rounded and finished bottle is an example of the fine ceramic vessels produced in the region in the first millennium B.C. The significance of the unusual grotesque head at the junction of one of the branches of the stirrup spout is uncertain. The head is painted yellow and has a wide red mouth, a large pug nose, red ears with plump, circular earrings, and a topknot. On its forehead is a large ornament decorated with concentric circles around a red center. Most mysterious of all, it is missing an eye.
