介绍（中）	这件象牙的两侧都显示了在三叶形拱门下求爱的场景。在一侧（图中未显示），一名男子手持一只象征其地位的猛禽，从一名女子手中接过一顶王冠，并为她加冕，以此作为回报，从而象征着她赢得了他的爱情。在另一边（左下方），恋人们在爱神面前跪拜，爱神投掷飞镖来表示他们的虔诚。受众多当代爱情诗的启发，这些场景是宫廷文学中所定义的爱情阶段的一部分，如颇具影响力的《罗马玫瑰》（Roman de la Rose，约1230-75年）这些牌匾旨在覆盖写字板，是14世纪巴黎的豪华产品之一，可能是在Tabletterie街上制作的，这个名字表明了它们的特殊用途。诗歌或信息会被写在光滑的象牙纸上，这些象牙纸上的凹陷区域用蜡填充。在这些多情的形象中，技术的完美经济和风格的纯粹显而易见。在优雅的形式和姿态中，这对优雅的夫妇似乎也传达了一种道德和精神生活，这种生活既有礼貌，也有人为，但充满了生活乐趣。
介绍（英）	Both sides of this ivory reveal scenes of courtship taking place under trefoil arches. On one side (not shown), a man holding a bird of prey- a symbol of his status- has received a coronet from a woman and reciprocates by crowning her, thus signifying her victory in winning his love. On the other side (below, left) the lovers kneel in adoration before the god of love, who throws darts to seal their devotion. Inspired by numerous contemporary love poems, these scenes are part of the stages of love as defined in courtly literature such as the influential Roman de la Rose (ca. 1230-75). Intended to cover writing tablets, such plaques were among the deluxe products of Paris during the fourteenth century and were possibly made on the rue de la Tabletterie, a name indicating their special use. Poems or messages would have been written on smooth sheets of ivory that had recessed areas filled with wax for the text. Perfect economy of technique and purity of style are clearly evident in these amorous images. In their elegance of form and gesture the courtly couples seem also to convey a moral and spiritual life that appears both mannered and artificial but is infused with joie de vivre.
