介绍（中）	这种圆柱形容器有一个平坦的底座（尽管内部底部是圆形的）和一个喇叭口。四个垂直穿孔的凸耳从肩部伸出，在靠近底部的下方有四个相应的孔。该容器由灰色粘土制成，带有切割装饰，并用白色粉末填充。装饰包括几条水平和垂直线、水平圆圈和鸟类图像。这些鸟是按轮廓渲染的，但根据它们的身体形状和短腿，它们可能是鸭子。这艘船是在伊朗西南部的苏萨（Elamite王国的首都）挖掘出来的。在美索不达米亚的乌鲁克、泰洛、尼普尔、泰尔哈桑、泰尔阿斯马尔和努齐以及伊朗的安山、戈丁特佩和乔加加瓦内也发现了类似的船只，装饰几乎相同。因此，它们很可能是在单个车间生产并出口的，但根据目前的证据，无法说出在哪里。也很难说这些容器的目的是什么目的，因为它们的形状非常常见，与其他古代陶瓷语料库不同。可能它们是为了模仿石器。
介绍（英）	This cylindrical vessel has a flat base (though the interior bottom is rounded) and a flaring mouth. Four vertically pierced lugs emerge from the shoulder, with four corresponding holes below them near the base. The vessel is made of gray clay with incised decorations which have been filled in with white powder. The decorations include several horizontal and vertical lines, horizontal rows of circles, and images of birds. The birds are rendered in outline, but based on the shape of their bodies and their short legs, they are probably ducks. This vessel was excavated at Susa in southwestern Iran, the capital of the Elamite kingdom. Similar vessels have been found at Uruk, Telloh, Nippur, Tell Hassan, Tell Asmar and Nuzi in Mesopotamia and at Anshan, Godin Tepe and Chogha Gavahneh in Iran, with near identical decorations. It is thus very likely they were produced in a single workshop and exported, but on current evidence it is impossible to say where. It is also difficult to say what purpose these vessels were intended to serve, since their shapes are quite usual and not paralleled in other ancient ceramic corpora. Possibly they were intended to imitate stone vessels.
