介绍（中）	Ostraca（ostracon的复数）是用作书写或绘画表面的碎片。通过扩展，该术语适用于用于类似目的的石灰石碎片。图形介形虫从单一特征的草图到多色绘画作品都各不相同。他们被用来练习绘画、草拟构图和复制场景。然而，一些介形虫是为了更持久的功能而创造的，在宗教实践中用作邪教图像，并存放在坟墓或神殿中，作为接触神的场所。在口头传统中，动物扮演人类的鸵鸟被不同地解释为有趣的笑话、政治讽刺或寓言或神话的插图这只奥斯特拉康是对两头斗牛的动态描绘。通过它们的身体描绘出强有力的动作，冲锋公牛的后腿向前推进，低下头用角将另一头公牛推倒。注意艺术家巧妙地运用色彩和图案来增加细节。
介绍（英）	Ostraca (plural for ostracon) are potsherds used as surfaces for writing or drawing. By extension, the term is applied to chips of limestone which were employed for similar purposes. Figural ostraca vary from sketches of a single feature to polychrome painted compositions. They were used to practice drawing, draft compositions, and copy scenes. However, some ostraca were created for more durable functions, used as cult images in religious practice and deposited at tombs or shrines as sites of access to the divine. Ostraca on which animals appear acting as humans have been variously interpreted as playful jokes, political satire, or illustrations to fables or myths in the oral tradition. This ostracon is a dynamic depiction of two fighting bulls. The powerful motion is portrayed through their bodies, with the back legs of the charging bull pushing forward and head lowered to topple the other bull with its horns. Note the artist’s skillful use of color and pattering to add detail.
