介绍（中）	这块牌匾是在沙尔曼尼瑟堡（Fort Shalmaneser）发现的，这是尼姆鲁德的一座皇家建筑，用于存放亚述人在军事行动中收集的战利品和贡品。从建筑物的储藏室中挖掘出数千件雕刻象牙，可能用作家具装饰或奢侈品。虽然不常见，但雕刻的贝壳和骨头物品也存放在沙尔曼尼瑟堡。这块牌匾是由一块贝壳雕刻而成的棕榈形状，由多种元素组成：几条水平带，从中萌发两组蜗壳，顶部是扇形棕榈树，上面有两排不同大小的程式化叶子。
介绍（英）	This plaque was found in Fort Shalmaneser, a royal building at Nimrud that was used to store booty and tribute collected by the Assyrians while on military campaign. Many thousands of pieces of carved ivory, probably used as furniture decoration or luxury objects, were excavated from storage rooms in the building. While not as common, carved shell and bone items were also stored at Fort Shalmaneser. This plaque was carved from a piece of shell in the shape of a palmette made up of multiple elements: several horizontal bands, from which sprout two sets of volutes, crowned by a fan-shaped palmette with two rows of differently-sized stylized fronds.
