介绍（中）	这种容器被学者称为"rhyton"（来自希腊语，意思是"流过"），因为它的底部有一个喷口。像许多韵律一样，它由一个角形烧杯和一个空心雕塑元素组成，在这种情况下是高地山羊或野山羊的前部。烧杯有垂直凹槽，顶部有花卉装饰。轮辋折叠起来，饰有鸡蛋和飞镖图案。山羊伸展着前腿，好像在奔腾。它有长长的山羊胡，尖尖的鼻子，突出的眉毛，尖尖的耳朵和长长的弯曲角。倾倒的喷口在它两腿之间的胸前。山羊的身体是用一张银片锤制而成的，腿、角和耳朵都附在上面。烧杯也被锤击。 Rhyta起源于阿契美尼德波斯帝国，这个例子最初归因于伊朗。然而，最近的研究表明，它的烧杯大小非常相似，形成了在保加利亚北部发现的两个色雷斯韵;事实上，这三艘船可能是在同一个车间制造的。因此，这个押韵被重新归因于色雷斯，在今天的希腊北部和保加利亚。色雷斯是阿契美尼德帝国的一部分大约五十年，直到公元前479年波斯战争结束。色雷斯人采用了波斯文化的许多特征，包括使用rhyta，到四世纪，色雷斯人正在生产古代世界最壮观的金银器皿。高地山羊可能受到波斯韵律的启发，因为高地山羊在古代伊朗艺术中有着悠久的历史。或者，它可能对色雷斯人有一些特殊的意义。
介绍（英）	This vessel is called a ‘rhyton’ (from the Greek rheo, meaning ‘flow through’) by scholars because it has a spout at the bottom. Like many rhyta, it consists of a horn-shaped beaker and a hollow sculptural element, in this case in the form of the foreparts of an ibex or wild goat. The beaker has vertical fluting with floral decoration at the top. The rim is folded over and decorated with an egg-and-dart pattern. The goat has extended forelegs, as if galloping. It has a long goatee, a pointed snout, a prominent brow, pointed ears and long curved horns. The pouring spout is on its chest between its legs. The goat’s body was hammered from a single sheet of silver, with the legs, horns and ears attached. The beaker is also hammered. Rhyta originated in the Achaemenid Persian Empire, and this example was originally attributed to Iran. However, recent research has shown that its beaker closely resembles in size and form two Thracian rhyta discovered in northern Bulgaria; in fact all three vessels may have been made in the same workshop. Accordingly, this rhyton has been re-attribution to Thrace, in what is today northern Greece and Bulgaria. Thrace was part of the Achaemenid Empire for about fifty years, until the end of the Persian Wars in 479 B.C. The Thracians adopted many features of Persian culture as their own, including the use of rhyta, and by the fourth century the Thracians were producing some of the most spectacular gold and silver vessels in the ancient world. The ibex may have been inspired by Persian rhyta, since ibexes have a long history of representation in ancient Iranian art. Alternatively, it may have had some special significance for the Thracians.
