介绍（中）	这个浅碗有一个平坦的底座，一个隆起的肩部和一个垂直的边缘。一个水平的环形手柄从一侧的肩部露出。它是用陶工的轮子用红粘土做成的。它是在Tepe Nush-i Jan发掘的，这是一个位于伊朗西部哈马丹以东约60公里的铁器时代山顶遗址。Nush-i Jan在公元前7世纪和6世纪被占领，其居住者通常被认为是Medes人，一个从亚述、阿契美尼德和《圣经》中了解到的伊朗人。尽管文本来源将他们描绘成一个强大的帝国，但梅代人的考古证据尚未维持这种印象。相反，他们似乎生活在伊朗西部和中部分散的设防地点，没有任何明确的首都。Nush-i Jan是其中最著名的遗址之一，拥有两座寺庙、一座圆柱大厅和一座堡垒。这个罐子是在中央神庙中发现的，中央神庙是一座塔式建筑，位于遗址的中央。因此，它可能被用于在那里举行的仪式。
介绍（英）	This shallow bowl has a flat base, a carinated shoulder and a vertical rim. A horizontal loop handle emerges from the shoulder on one side. It is made of a red clay, using a potter’s wheel. It was excavated at Tepe Nush-i Jan, an Iron Age hilltop site about 60 km sound of Hamadan in western Iran. Nush-i Jan was occupied in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C., and its occupants are generally thought to be the Medes, an Iranian people known from Assyrian, Achaemenid and Biblical sources. Though the textual sources portray them as a powerful empire, archaeological evidence for the Medes has yet to sustain this impression. Rather, they seem to have lived in scattered fortified sites in western and central Iran, without any clear capital. Nush-i Jan, one of the best known of these sites, features two temples, a columned hall, and a fort. This jar was found in the Central Temple, a tower-like structure in the middle of the site. Thus it may have been used in a ritual performed there.
