介绍（中）	马镫形壶——壶嘴的形状让人想起马鞍上的马镫——大约3000年来，在秘鲁北部海岸一直是一种非常受欢迎的瓶子形状。尽管这种独特形式的重要性和象征意义仍然让学者们感到困惑，但有人认为，双分支/单喷口的形状可能阻止了液体的蒸发，和/或便于携带。早在公元前一千年，摩切人就将马镫壶制作成雕塑形状，描绘了各种各样的主题，包括人物、动物和植物，并带有大量的自然主义色彩。大约500年后，瓶室主要变成球形，为绘制复杂的多图形场景提供了大的表面。在这个瓶子上，两个戴着狐狸面具的动画战士携带着圆形盾牌和战争球杆。它们奔跑在由波浪线和仙人掌植物指示的丘陵沙漠景观中。前倾的身体和大步可以传递出强烈的向前运动感。战士们穿着装饰的长裙、梯形的腰带装饰物和圆锥形的头盔。
介绍（英）	The stirrup-spout vessel—the shape of the spout recalls the stirrup on a horse's saddle—was a much favored bottle shape on Peru's northern coast for about 3,000 years. Although the importance and symbolism of this distinctive form is still puzzling to scholars, it has been suggested that the double-branch/single-spout shape may have prevented evaporation of liquids, and/or that it was convenient for carrying. Early in the first millennium A.D., the Moche elaborated stirrup-spout bottles into sculptural shapes depicting a wide range of subjects, including human figures, animals, and plants worked with a great deal of naturalism. About 500 years later, bottle chambers became predominantly globular, providing large surfaces for painting complex multifigure scenes. On this bottle, two animated warriors, their faces covered with fox face masks, carry round shields and war clubs. They are shown running across a hilly desert landscape indicated by a wavy line and cactus plants. A strong sense of forward motion is conveyed by leaning bodies and long strides. The warriors wear decorated long skirts, trapezoidal belt ornaments, and conical helmets.
