介绍（中）	在十三世纪的过程中，由al-Mawsili（来自摩苏尔）艺术家签名或以他们的风格制作的豪华镶嵌黄铜开始展示一种非常特殊的图像，借用基督教图案，即福音场景，与基督生平有关的图像，以及圣徒和教会的站立人物。这些图像与塞尔柱时代流行的传统伊斯兰主题一起出现，例如宫廷周期和占星术。值得注意的是，这些基督教图案在很大程度上被刻意描绘成变化。艺术家们要么不完全理解图像，要么不太关心既定的经典。基督教和中世纪伊斯兰主题的并置表明，这些黄铜可能是为特定社区设计的，强调了塞尔柱西部地区复杂的多元文化环境。有些可能是当地基督教赞助人订购的，有些则是十字军骑士的纪念品。它们适合作为穆斯林和基督教宫廷作为享有盛誉的外交礼物或豪华的出口作品，到达塞尔柱世界内外的统治者和精英个人，远至欧洲西部。
介绍（英）	During the course of the thirteenth century, luxurious inlaid brasses signed by al-Mawsili (from Mosul) artists or made in their style began to display a very particular iconography borrowing from Christian motifs, namely Gospel scenes, images related to the life of Christ, and standing figures of saints and ecclesiastics. These images appear alongside traditional Islamic themes that were popular in the Seljuq era, such as the courtly cycle and astrology. It is noteworthy that such Christian motifs were largely depicted with deliberate variations. The artists either did not entirely understand the iconography or they did not care much about the established canon. The juxtaposition of Christian and medieval Islamic themes suggests that these brasses were probably intended for specific communities, underscoring the complex multicultural milieu of the western Seljuq realm. Some may have been ordered by local Christian patrons, others as souvenirs for Crusader knights. Suitable for Muslim and Christian courts as prestigious diplomatic gifts or as luxurious export works, they reached rulers and elite individuals both within and beyond the Seljuq world, as far west as Europe.
