介绍（中）	在公元一千年的下半叶，以阿亚库乔地区为中心的瓦里人统治了安第斯山脉中南部。他们与偏远地区的当代人民互动，例如今玻利维亚的强大城市蒂瓦纳库和秘鲁南部海岸的纳斯卡地区的人民。瓦里与这些民族和其他民族的关系的性质尚不清楚，但他们对瓦里艺术的影响是无可争议的。虽然这艘船的形状和绘画风格——红色、紫色、黄色、灰色和白色的生动滑漆以及厚厚的黑色轮廓的使用——遵循了南部海岸的悠久传统，但它的宗教意象可以在蒂瓦纳库的主要石碑上找到。直边碗的外表面分为四个面板;两个装饰着抽象超自然的方形脸。它有一个类似于蒂瓦纳库主神的射线头饰。尖牙和分裂的白色和黑色眼睛是瓦里的特征。另外两个面板显示了带有突出弯曲喙的轮廓鸟头;头部由U形构成，交替的鸟头和程式化的植物（也许是玉米）从中散发出来。
介绍（英）	During the second half of the first millennium A.D., the Wari peoples, centered in the Ayacucho region, dominated the south-central Andes. They interacted with contemporary peoples in far-flung areas such as the powerful city of Tiwanaku in present-day Bolivia and the peoples of the Nazca region on the southern coast of Peru. The nature of Wari's relationship with these and other peoples is still unclear, but their influence on Wari art is undisputed. While the shape of this vessel and the painting style—vivid slip paints of red, purple, yellow, gray, and white and the use of thick black outline—follows a long-standing southern coast tradition, its religious imagery is found on major stone monuments at Tiwanaku. The outer surface of the straight-sided bowl is divided into four panels; two are decorated with the square face of an abstract supernatural. It has a rayed headdress resembling Tiwanaku's principal deity. The fangs and split white and black eyes are characteristic Wari features. The two other panels show the profile bird head with a prominent curved beak; the heads are framed by a U-shape from which alternating bird heads and stylized plants, perhaps corn, emanate.
