In several countries in South America such as Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, many ceramics have been found which illustrate aspects of human anatomy, physiology and pathology that had been noticed and masterfully reproduced by the potter. A statuette in my private collection of pre-Colombian ceramics is approximately 2000 years old and belongs to the era of the Bahia culture. It depicts an important personage, possibly a political, social or religious leader, with a cleft lip and palate.
在南美洲的几个国家，如哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁，人们发现了许多陶瓷制品，这些制品展示了人类解剖学、生理学和病理学的各个方面，而这些方面是陶工们所注意到并巧妙再现的。我私人收藏的一件前哥伦布时期的陶瓷小雕像大约有2000年的历史，属于巴伊亚文化时期。它描绘了一位重要人物，可能是政治、社会或宗教领袖，患有唇腭裂。
