介绍（中）	现代韦拉克鲁斯州位于墨西哥湾沿岸，玛雅低地以北，墨西哥中部高地以东。韦拉克鲁斯文化多样，环境丰富，几个世纪以来，韦拉克鲁斯人参与了三个地区之间的动态交流，其中包括贸易、战争和移民。在第一个千年的中间几个世纪，艺术天赋异禀的韦拉克鲁斯诺斯创造了特别有创意的陶瓷雕塑，风格多样，但又相互关联。这三个立像中的每一个都是独一无二的，但它们有很多共同的细节：卷曲的头发（或带卷发的帽子）带有白色的痕迹，杆状的胸饰，突出的耳朵饰，以及精心制作的腰带或围腰。宽阔的嘴巴张开，炫耀着被赤铁矿晶体熏黑的闪闪发光的牙齿，这在韦拉克鲁斯州的陶瓷雕像上是罕见的。另一方面，宽眼睛的黑色瞳孔是一种称为chapapote的树脂材料，在韦拉克鲁斯的人物中并不罕见。服装上不同的细节使这些人物看起来有一种奇怪的等级感，就好像他们是某种表演者或穿着制服的军人。在这一时期的陶瓷人物群中，这是一个不同寻常的叙事音符。
介绍（英）	The modern state of Veracruz lies along the Mexican Gulf Coast, north of the Maya lowlands and east of the highlands of central Mexico. Culturally diverse and environmentally rich, the people of Veracruz took part in dynamic interchanges between the three regions that over the centuries included trade, warfare, and migration. During the middle centuries of the first millennium, the artistically gifted Veracruzanos created particularly inventive ceramic sculpture in diverse yet related styles. Each of these three standing figures is unique, but they share many details: the curled hair (or hats with curls) with traces of white coloring, the barlike chest ornaments, the projecting ear ornaments, and the elaborate belts or loincloths. The wide mouths are open to show off sparkling teeth that have been blackened with hematite crystals, which are rare on Veracruz ceramic figures. The black pupils of the wide eyes, on the other hand, are a resinous material called chapapote that is not uncommon on Veracruz figures. The varying details on the costumes give the figures an odd appearance of rank, as if they were performers of some kind or military men in dress uniform. It is a narrative note unusual among groups of ceramic figures of this period.
