介绍（中）	马镫形壶——因壶嘴形状与骑马马镫相似而得名——在秘鲁前哥伦布时期是一种非常受欢迎的瓶形。有人认为，双分支/单喷口形状的特点是防止其所含液体蒸发。马镫嘴在秘鲁北部的陶瓷器皿上使用了大约2500年。早在公元前一千年，马镫嘴瓶就被精心制作成各种视觉现象的雕塑。人形以许多角色和伪装出现在他们中间，有些看起来是"日常的"，而另一些则具有更明显的仪式或神圣的特征这个人物戴着一个头饰，中央有一张猫脸。这种兽额头饰在摩切艺术中很常见，被认为是等级或职业的象征。这个人物最初可能有镶嵌的眼睛，鼻子、耳朵和手腕上有更多的装饰物。
介绍（英）	The stirrup-spout vessel--so named for the similarity of the spout form to that of a riding saddle stirrup--was a much-favored bottle shape in Precolumbian Peru. It has been suggested that the peculiarity of the double-branch/single-spout shape was to prevent evaporation of the liquids it contained. The stirrup spout was used on ceramic vessels in northern Peru for about twenty-five hundred years. Early in the first millennium B.C., the stirrup-spout bottle was elaborated into sculptural depictions of a wide range of visual phenomena. The human figure appeared among them in many roles and guises, some seemingly "everyday" in aspect, while others were of a more noticeably ritual or sacred character. The figure wears a headdress that has a small feline face at the center. Such animal-fronted headdresses were commonly depicted in Moche art. They are believed to have been emblematic of rank or profession. This figure may originally have had inlaid eyes and more ornaments on its nose, ears, and wrists.
