介绍（中）	在1521年特诺奇蒂特兰被摧毁后，西班牙人开始在阿兹特克帝国城市的废墟上为新西班牙总督区建造新的首都。这是对阿兹特克军事和宗教力量的胜利宣言。从拆除阿兹特克神庙和切割神灵雕塑中获得的材料被制成新建筑的积木，或者被雕刻成适合天主教堂和私人豪宅的形式。印第安人接受了成千上万的洗礼，早期神的形象被基督教圣像所取代。为西班牙赞助人工作的印度工匠接受了基督教主题和艺术传统的指导。这个小雕塑碎片在处理丰满的脸和卷曲的头发方面表现出欧洲风格特征。特别是眼睛和嘴巴与阿兹特克人的做法不同，当时它们通常显示为容纳镶嵌物的空心凹槽。
介绍（英）	After the destruction of Tenochtitlan in 1521, the Spaniards proceeded to build a new capital for what would become the Viceroyalty of New Spain on the ruins of the Aztec imperial city. It was a statement of triumph over Aztec military and religious power. Materials gained from demolishing Aztec temples and cutting up sculptures of deities were made into building blocks for new construction, or they were carved into forms suitable for Catholic churches and private mansions. Indians were baptized by the thousands and images of earlier gods were replaced with Christian icons. Indian craftsmen, working for Spanish patrons, were instructed in Christian subject matter and artistic traditions. This small sculpture fragment exhibits European stylistic features in the treatment of the plump face and curly hair. The eyes and mouth in particular differ from Aztec practice, when they were usually shown as hollow recesses accommodating inlays.
