介绍（中）	这套鞍板代表了穿孔铁制品中的一个高点，与同类产品不相上下。每个盘子都是用一块铁凿成的。细长的四爪龙，雕刻得非常详细，完全脱离了周围的卷轴地面，这样它们就可以在里面稍微移动。除了龙的身体确实重叠的区域外，卷轴图案还被削弱，以呈现深度和重叠的外观。有一个许愿宝石图案，由蓝色和绿色的绿松石片制成，镶嵌在鞍部和鞍部中心的形状隔间中，并以同样的方式制作零散的莲花。板块的外边缘由一排排半圆形的宝石片围成。板的铁表面完全用金箔镶嵌，黄金下方交叉影线的精度和精细度都非常出色。
介绍（英）	This set of saddle plates represents a high point in the medium of pierced ironwork, equaling or excelling anything of its type. Each plate is chiseled from a single piece of iron. The long, thin four-clawed dragons, carved in high relief in great detail, are cut entirely free from the surrounding scrollwork ground so that they can move slightly within it. The scroll patterns are undercut to give the appearance of depth and overlap, in addition to the areas where the bodies of the dragons actually do overlap. There is a Wish-Granting Jewel motif made with pieces of blue and green turquoise set in shaped compartments in the center of both the pommel and the cantle, and scattered lotus blossoms made in the same way. The outer edges of the plates are bordered by rows of semicircular pieces of lapis. The iron surfaces of the plates are damascened completely with gold foil, and the precision and fineness of the cross-hatching beneath the gold are exceptional.
