介绍（中）	这个保存完好的基座碗是十四世纪和十五世纪在普埃布拉州的乔卢拉地区和瓦哈卡州的米斯特克地区制造的彩色陶瓷的一个很好的例子。陶瓷器皿表面璀璨，几乎像漆一样，采用鲜艳的橙色、红色和白色设计。灰色、深棕色和黑色也用于该时期彩绘手稿中的风格。这些船只质量上乘，工艺精湛，在特诺奇蒂特兰的阿兹特克皇帝宫廷中使用。在这个碗的上部周围是三只徘徊的猫科动物，它们的头向后仰，露在纤细弯曲的身体上。这些生物的攻击性通过它们穿透性的目光、裸露的牙齿和獠牙来传达。尖尖的形状从他们的脚下发出，可能代表爪子。刀片状的形状出现在它们的脊椎、尾巴和前臂上，而其中一个则被伸出的爪子握住。这些可能代表用于祭祀的燧石刀。喇叭形底座被带有阶梯品的带子和一系列重复的蜗壳（可能表示烟雾）和有核盘包围。
介绍（英）	This well-preserved pedestal bowl is a fine example of polychrome ceramics made during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in the Cholula area of the state of Puebla and the Mixtec region of Oaxaca. Well finished with brilliant, almost lacquerlike surfaces, the ceramic vessels feature designs in vivid orange, red, and white. Gray, dark brown, and black are also used in a style seen in the painted manuscripts of the period. These vessels were of such high quality and superior workmanship that they were used in the court of the Aztec emperor in Tenochtitlan. Around the upper portion of this bowl are three prowling felines, their heads turned back over their slender, curved bodies. The creatures' aggressiveness is conveyed through their penetrating gaze, bared teeth, and fangs. Pointed forms emanate from under their feet, probably representing claws. Bladelike forms appear along their backbone, tail, and forearms, while one is held in an outstretched paw. These probably represent the flint knives that were used in sacrifices. The flared base is encircled by bands with step-frets, and a repetitive series of volutes, possibly indicating smoke, and nucleated disks.
