介绍（中）	在公元前一千年的下半叶，秘鲁南部海岸最受欢迎的容器形式是双嘴和桥瓶。通常，壶嘴被建模为一个程式化的鸟头，就像这里一样，它起到哨子的作用，当瓶子里的液体倒出时会产生柔和的声音。这些瓶子以干燥的帕拉卡斯半岛命名，并在其北部和南部的山谷中被发现，特别是在伊卡山谷南部。在还原的氛围中烧制成深棕色调，许多装饰有切割的猫科动物图像，可能来自北部查文风格。咆哮的猫科动物令人印象深刻的正面装饰着汽笛嘴正下方的容器室侧面。该生物的特征被几何化成一系列平行带，填充有红色和白色树脂涂料。烧制后应用，大部分油漆现在都丢失了。半闭眼睛上优雅弯曲的眉毛被包围脸部的直线框住。小耳朵向上延伸，宽口带显示尖锐的上下犬齿。眼睛之间出现了一个小的模型哈巴狗鼻子。
介绍（英）	In the second half of the first millennium B.C., a favorite vessel form on the southern coast of Peru was the double-spout-and-bridge bottle. Often the spout is modeled as a stylized bird head, as here, which functions as a whistle, producing a gentle sound when the liquid inside the bottle is poured out. These bottles are named for the dry Paracas Peninsula and have been found in the valleys to the north and south of it, particularly in the southern Ica Valley. Fired to dark brown tones in a reducing atmosphere, many are decorated with incised feline-based imagery, probably derived from the northern Chavín style. The impressive frontal face of a snarling feline decorates the side of the vessel chamber directly under the whistle spout. The creature's features are geometricized into a series of parallel bands filled in with red and white resin paint. Applied after firing, most of the paint is now missing. Elegantly curved brows over half-closed eyes are framed by straight lines that enclose the face. Small ears extend upward and a wide mouth band displays pointed upper and lower canines. A small modeled pug nose appears between the eyes.
