介绍（中）	这个军帽的例子正面精心装饰着三个人物。中心的是一位男性水神，他胸前拿着一个流动的花瓶。他有一个多角的王冠，胡子，卷曲的头发，下半身有一个山状或鳞片状的图案，就像背景上的那个。上衣在他的胸前纵横交错。他身边站着两位戴着角冠的女神，她们举起双手祈祷。他们的长袍镶有荷叶边，戴着项链和手镯。盘旋在雕像上方的是一只羽毛清晰的猛禽。背面是一根装饰过的管子，里面可能有一根真正的羽毛羽。所有这些元素都是用沥青雕刻而成，上面覆盖着带有雕刻装饰的银箔和金箔，这种技术以及人物的风格和类型都指向了埃兰。水神可能是Elamite Inshushinak或Napirisha，类似于美索不达米亚的甜水之神Ea 这样的头盔应该是高级战士戴的，也许是在特殊场合，而不是在实际战斗中。对于佩戴者来说，保护性的和重要的神的象征肯定是无稽之谈。
介绍（英）	This example of military headgear is elaborately decorated with three figures on the front. The central one is a male water deity who holds a flowing vase at his chest. He has a multiple horned crown, a beard, curled hair, and a mountainlike or scale pattern on the lower body like the one on the background. The top of the garment crisscrosses his chest. He is flanked by two female deities with horned crowns who hold their hands up in supplication. Their robes are flounced and they wear necklaces and bracelets. Hovering over the figures is a raptor like bird with carefully delineated feathers. At the back is a decorated tube that may have held an actual feather plume. All of these elements were carved from bitumen and overlaid with silver and then gold foil with incised decoration, a technique that, along with the style and types of the figures, point to Elam as the source. The water god might be either the Elamite Inshushinak or Napirisha, similar to Ea, the Mesopotamian god of the sweet waters. Such a helmet would have been worn by a warrior of high rank, and perhaps on special occasions rather than in actual battle. The representations of protective and important deities could certainly have been apotropaic for the wearer.
