介绍（中）	这个有外翻边缘的浅碗是由几块碎片重建而成的。它是用陶工的轮子用红粘土做成的。它是在伊朗北部的Shahr-i Qumis发掘的，被确定为赫卡托普洛斯古城，约公元前200年由帕提亚人建立为他们的首都。在希腊语中，赫卡托普利斯的意思是"一百扇门"，这表明这座城市相当大。事实上，现代考古遗址包括几个土堆，其中只有几个被挖掘出来，还有一大片被碎片覆盖的区域。这艘船是在五号遗址的一座大型建筑中发现的，该建筑已被初步确定为精英住宅。这座建筑在公元前1世纪末或公元1世纪初的某个时候完全被泥土填满，也许是帕提亚的首都被转移到其他地方，城市的精英居民也随之离开了。它很可能是一个饮用器皿，可能是用来装葡萄酒的。事实上，在该遗址的其他地方也发现了用来密封葡萄酒罐子的粘土大泡 1967年，英国波斯研究所在Shahr-i Qumis的发掘工作得到了大都会艺术博物馆的共同赞助。然而，这艘船直到1971年才被发现，由于大都会博物馆为该研究所在伊朗另一个遗址Tepe Nush-i Jan的发掘工作提供了财政捐助，它才从英国研究所获得。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 shallow bowl with an everted rim has been reconstructed from several sherds. It is made of a red clay, using a potter’s wheel. It was excavated at Shahr-i Qumis in northern Iran, which has been identified as the ancient city of Hecatompylos, established by the Parthians as their capital by about 200 B.C. In Greek Hecatompylos means ‘a hundred gates,’ suggesting that the city was quite large. Indeed, the modern archaeological site includes several mounds, only a few of which have been excavated, and a vast area covered with potsherds. This vessel was found in a large building at Site V, which has been tentatively identified as an elite residence. This building was completely filled with dirt sometime in the late 1st century B.C. or early 1st century A.D., perhaps when the Parthian capital was moved elsewhere and the city’s elite residents left with it. It was most likely a drinking vessel, probably for wine. Indeed, clay bullae used to seal wine jars have been found elsewhere at the site. The excavations at Shahr-i Qumis by the British Institute of Persian Studies in 1967 were co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, this vessel was not discovered until 1971, and it was acquired from the British Institute as a result of the Met’s 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.
