介绍（中）	这个碗来自德黑兰地区一个名为Cheshmeh Ali的遗址，靠近淡水泉，最早的永久定居点可以追溯到公元前6000-5000年，1934-1936年在现场进行的挖掘发现了这个早期时期独特的橙红色陶器，上面涂有深棕色或黑色的设计。这个例子装饰着一个精细绘制的几何图案，这些几何图案由阴影钻石形状组成，环绕碗的外部。像石器时代（约公元前5500-3000年）伊朗的许多陶器一样，这件作品制作得非常巧妙。它是在陶轮发明之前用一块粘土手工形成的，极薄、平坦的墙壁展示了制作它的工匠的高超技艺。精致的陶器很脆弱，很容易破裂，看来这个碗在古代就坏了，后来被修复了。在碗上的几个点上，在断裂的两侧钻了一对孔，并且可能被某种纺织品或皮革条串在一起，以将破碎的碎片固定在一起。使用这个碗的人一定对它非常重视，正如他们努力修复而不是简单地丢弃它所证明的那样，这是大多数破碎的古代陶器的典型命运。
介绍（英）	This bowl comes from a site in the area of Tehran called Cheshmeh Ali, near a freshwater spring, where the earliest permanent settlement dates to 6000-5000 B.C. Excavations conducted at the site in 1934-1936 uncovered distinctive orange-reddish pottery from this early period painted with designs in dark brown or black. This example is decorated with a finely painted geometric pattern of hatched diamond shapes in two bands encircling the outside of the bowl. Like much of the pottery from Iran in the Chalcolithic Period (ca. 5500-3000 B.C.), this piece is very skillfully made. It was formed by hand from a slab of clay, before the invention of the potter’s wheel, and the extremely thin, even walls demonstrate the great skill of the artisans who made it. Delicate pottery is fragile and breaks easily, and it appears that this bowl broke and was subsequently repaired in the ancient past. At several points on the bowl, a pair of holes have been drilled on either side of a break, and were likely strung together by some sort of textile or leather strips to hold the broken pieces together. The people who used this bowl must have placed a high value on it, as demonstrated by their efforts to repair rather than simply discard it, the typical fate of most broken ancient pottery.
