介绍（中）	莫切陶艺家以极高的解剖精度描绘了人类、动物和植物的自然主义细节。确切的物种甚至历史个体都可以在高度真实的雕塑图像中被识别出来。在摩切宗教和图像学中，猛禽包括猎鹰、鹰、秃鹰、秃鹫和猫头鹰。自然主义或拟人化的猛禽会进行各种与其自然行为相关的仪式活动，如战斗、狩猎和祭祀。也许是因为猫头鹰是夜间活动的，所以它们似乎与丧葬领域有着密切的联系。拟人猫头鹰为葬礼准备尸体和祭品，还将死去的战士带到死者的世界。生活在秘鲁北海岸沙漠环境中的许多猫头鹰物种都以莫切陶艺家为代表。该血管可能显示出Tyto alba，可通过心形面盘和耳丛的缺失识别。
介绍（英）	Moche ceramists rendered naturalistic details of humans, animals, and plants with great anatomical precision. Exact species and even historical individuals can be recognized in sculptural images depicted with a high degree of realism. In Moche religion and iconography, birds of prey include falcons, eagles, condors, vultures, and owls. Naturalistic or anthropomorphized birds of prey perform a variety of ritual activities related to their natural behavior such as battles, hunts, and sacrifices. Perhaps because they are nocturnal, owls seem to be closely related to the funerary domain. Anthropomorphized owls prepare bodies and offerings for burials and also carry deceased warriors to the world of the dead. Many species of owls living in the desert environment of the Peruvian north coast are represented by Moche ceramists. This vessel probably shows a Tyto alba, recognizable by the heart-shaped facial disk and the absence of ear tufts.
