介绍（中）	用柔软的石头雕刻器皿和其他物品是近东悠久艺术传统的一部分，其历史可以追溯到几千年前。滑石和其他相关滑石（英文单词起源于波斯语）易于雕刻，相对坚固且不脆，并且不透火。许多中世纪的尼沙布尔石器皿都表现出高度的艺术价值，尽管它们是用低级材料制成的，并具有实用功能。这些作品通常具有强大的雕塑形式，其轮廓采用美丽的二维图案形式。这盏灯由灰黑色的"马什哈德"石头制成，呈长方形，其一端以两个上翘曲线的叉子终止（使其看起来像船），另一端雕刻出一个短手柄。灯分为两个纵向部分，有七个空腔 - 四个圆形"碗"，一个半圆形的"碗"，在每个端子插脚的两个细长插座之间。
介绍（英）	The carving of utensils and other objects from soft stones is part of a longstanding artistic tradition in the Near East that dates back for millennia. Steatite and other related talcs (the English word is of Persian origin) are easy to carve, relatively strong and non-brittle, and are impervious to fire. Many of medieval Nishapur's stone utensils demonstrate a high degree of artistic merit, despite having been fashioned from a lowly material and serving a utilitarian function. These pieces often have powerfully sculptural forms with silhouettes that take the form of beautiful two-dimensional patterns. This lamp, of gray black "Mashhad" stone, is rectangular in shape, its one end terminating with two prongs in an upturned curve (giving it a boat-like appearance) and a short handle carved out the other. The lamp is divided into two longitudinal sections with seven cavities--four circular 'bowls', a semicircular one between the two elongated receptacles of each terminal prong.
