介绍（中）	这种投手有一个深蹲的身体，圆润的肩膀，短的脖子和一个喇叭形的边缘。一个短的喷口从肩膀下方的身体一侧出现并连接到边缘。圆形手柄连接肩部和另一侧的轮辋。投手是浅黄色的，有红褐色的装饰，包括三条光线，在壶嘴周围有交叉影线，边缘有圆点。喷口和彩绘装饰的组合暗示了鸟的形状。主体和颈部分别放在一个轮子上，后来添加了手柄和壶嘴。这个投手是在伊朗中部卡尚附近的Tepe Sialk挖掘出来的。锡亚尔克是一个设防城镇的所在地，建于公元前一千年早期。距离城镇几百码的地方有一个大墓地，考古学家在1933年至1937年间对其进行了探索，将其称为墓地B。坟墓是覆盖着石头或粘土制成的斜屋顶的坑，除了死者的尸体外，它们还包含珠宝，武器，皮甲，马饰和陶瓷器皿，包括许多类似的水壶。据推测，这个水壶是用来倒出含有渣滓的液体，例如葡萄酒，因为圆形的身体和壶嘴可以防止渣滓最终进入杯子。在被放入坟墓之前，它可能被用于葬礼宴会或仪式;无论如何，它在墓地的埋葬表明，在铁器时代，喝酒是生与死的重要组成部分。
介绍（英）	This pitcher has a squat body with a rounded shoulder, a short neck, and a flaring rim. A short spout emerges from one side of the body just below the shoulder and connects to the rim. A rounded handle connects the shoulder and the rim on the other side. The pitcher is buff, with painted reddish-brown decorations, including three rays with crosshatching surrounding the spout and dots on the rim. The combination of the spout and painted decorations suggest the form of a bird. The body and neck were made separately on a wheel, with the handle and spout added later. This pitcher was excavated at Tepe Sialk, near Kashan in central Iran. Sialk was the site of a fortified town, constructed in the early first millennium B.C. Several hundred yards from the town there was a large cemetery, called Necropolis B by the archaeologists who explored it between 1933 and 1937. The graves were pits covered with pitched roofs made of stone or clay, and in addition to the bodies of the dead they contained jewelry, weapons, leather armor, horse trappings and ceramic vessels, including many similar pitchers. Presumably this pitcher was used to pour a liquid containing dregs, such as wine, since the round body and spout would prevent the dregs from ending up in the cup. Possibly it was used in a funerary banquet or ritual before it was placed in the grave; regardless, its burial in the cemetery shows that drinking wine was an important part of life and death in Iron Age Sialk.
