介绍（中）	这种碎片来自一个陶瓷罐的肩部，很可能是一个蹲着的球形罐身和一个张开的边缘。它是由浅黄色粘土和奶油色滑片制成的，外部涂有棕色几何装饰。它是在Tall-i Nokhodi发掘的，这是伊朗西南部的一个史前遗址，在公元前4000年和3000年被占领。发掘范围有限，但那里的烤炉表明这是一个小定居点。从该遗址发现的金属，包括一个铸造的青铜斧头，表明那里有一个珍贵的金属加工行业，这预示着在未来几个世纪里，邻近的埃兰人将进行大规模的青铜加工这块碎片是1962年由英国波斯研究所发掘的。然而，大都会博物馆于1978年收购了它，因为它为研究所在伊朗另一个遗址Tepe Nush-i Jan的挖掘工作提供了资金。当时，伊朗政府允许外国挖掘机保留一部分发现物，而这些挖掘机反过来会将其份额分配给支持这项工作的机构。
介绍（英）	This sherd comes from the shoulder of a ceramic jar, likely one with a squat, globular body and a flaring rim. It is made of a buff clay with a cream slip, with painted brown geometric decoration on the exterior. It was excavated at Tall-i Nokhodi, a prehistoric site in southwestern Iran occupied during the fourth and third millennia B.C. Excavations have been limited in scope, but the presence of ovens there suggest it was a small settlement. Metal finds from the site, including a cast bronze axe head, indicate a precious metalworking industry there, one which prefigures the magnificent and extensive bronzeworking of the neighboring Elamites in centuries to come. This sherd was excavated in 1962 by the British Institute of Persian Studies. However, the Met acquired it in 1978 as a result of its financial contributions to the Institute’s excavations at Tepe Nush-i Jan, another site in Iran. At the time the Iranian government allowed foreign excavators to keep a portion of the finds, and these excavators in turn would divide their share among the institutions that supported the work.
