介绍（中）	到了十五世纪，风箱，一种古老的工具，经常被装饰得富丽堂皇，并被陈列在室内的烟囱上。这只波纹管，雕刻成高浮雕，曾被涂上明亮的油漆，一面显示了飞往埃及的航班。现场下方有两件盾徽，左边一件未经确认，右边一件被确认为阿姆斯特丹的盾徽，表明风箱曾在该市的一个家庭或会馆使用。风箱的背面有一个圆形的镶嵌物，镶嵌在一个深镀金的模具中，模具上有三个用于吸入空气的开口。空气通过风箱末端的龙头下颚突出的金属管排出。风箱的侧面是皮革的这个风箱上的宗教主题装饰并不表明它属于宗教机构；这样的主题经常出现在日常家庭使用的对象上同样的场景，以几乎相同的方式呈现，尽管盾牌上没有手臂，但出现在一个风箱上，被认为来自乌得勒支，约1510年。两个类似风箱的存在表明，这些物品在中世纪时在家庭中普遍使用，可能是在购买后留下空白以完成的情况下大量生产的。
介绍（英）	By the fifteenth century, bellows, an implement known from antiquity, were often richly decorated and were displayed on the chimneys of domestic interiors. This bellows, carved in high relief and once brightly painted, shows on one side the Flight into Egypt. Beneath the scene are two coats of arms, the left one unidentified, the right identified as that of Amsterdam, indicating that the bellows was once used in a household or a guild hall in that city. The back of the bellows has a circular inset within a deep gilded molding pierced with three openings for the intake of air. The air was expelled through the metal pipe projecting from the jaws of the dragon’s head at the end of the bellows. The sides of the bellows are of leather. The decoration on this bellows of a religious subject does not indicate that it belongs to a religious establishment; such themes frequently appear on objects of daily household usage. This same scene, in an almost identical representation, though without arms on the shields, appears on a bellows thought to be from Utrecht, circa 1510. The existence of two such similar bellows suggests that these items, in common use in the household during the Middle Ages, may have been produced in large quantities with the arms left blank for completion after purchase.
