介绍（中）	这个高脚杯来自卡山附近的一个叫Tepe Sialk的地方。1933年、1934年和1937年在该遗址进行的挖掘发现了大量史前陶器，为伊朗中部高原的早期纪年提供了重要证据。就像许多来自伊朗的铜器时代（约公元前5500-3000年）的陶器一样，这件陶器制作得非常巧妙，壁薄，轮廓清晰对称。它很可能是用陶工轮的前身tournette制作或完成的，tournette是一个在中心枢轴上平衡的扁平圆盘，一只手可以旋转，另一只手用于在轮的中心打磨和成型锅。深棕色的图案与浅黄色的陶瓷作品相呼应，与高脚杯的形状相协调。大而宽的虚线在水平带的下方垂直地在脚上扇出。另一条粗带环绕着船只的最宽点，在其上方，一排排梳状的水平线或波浪形的垂直线升起，覆盖着外表面，顶部是三条较窄的带，在这三条带上方，一列弯曲的腿水鸟排成一列向右行进，填满了略微张开的嘴唇的空间。风格化的动物，尤其是鸟类和野山羊，与几何图案的结合是Tepe Sialk这一时期精美陶器的典型。这只器皿可能是用来喝酒的，其精致的装饰让人怀疑它是用来作为实用餐具，还是用于包括仪式在内的特殊场合。
介绍（英）	This goblet comes from a site near Kashan called Tepe Sialk. Excavations conducted at the site in 1933, 1934, and 1937 uncovered large amounts of prehistoric pottery which have provided important evidence for the early chronology of the central Iranian plateau. Like much of the pottery from Iran in the Chalcolithic Period (ca. 5500-3000 B.C.), this piece is very skillfully made, with thin walls and a crisply formed, symmetrical profile. It was likely created or finished using a tournette, the precursor to the potter’s wheel, which is a flat disc balanced on a central pivot that can be spun with one hand while the other hand is used to smooth and shape a pot in the center of the wheel. The designs painted in dark brown against the buff-colored ceramic work in harmony with the shape of the goblet. Large, widely spaced dotted lines fan out vertically across the foot, below a horizontal band. Another thick band encircles the widest point of the vessel, above which rows of comb-like horizontal lines or wavy vertical lines rise to cover the outside surface, topped by three narrower bands above which a row of bent-legged waterbirds proceeds in single file to the right, filling the space of the slightly flaring lip. The combination of stylized animals, especially birds and ibexes, with geometric patterns is typical of the fine pottery from this period at Tepe Sialk. This vessel was probably used for drinking, and the elaborate decoration brings into question whether it was intended to serve as utilitarian tableware, or for use on special occasions including rituals.
