介绍（中）	这个神秘的物体被雕刻成高浮雕。它的原始功能和叙事都不得而知，但雕刻的风格表明它是在 14 世纪后期在德国制造的。在一侧，四只狮子被描绘在树木的背景下。对面描绘了四个男性马术人物。在左边，一个留着胡子的老人的冠冕人物向前倾，他的马低下头吃或喝。男人把左手放在眼前，也许是用右手握住缰绳或轴时眺望远方。在这个物体的正上方，在表面上钻了一个孔，表明所代表的物体继续在现在已经丢失的部分上。下一个骑手，在这个人物的右边，身体前倾，抬头看着他的马低着头到地上。他似乎也加冕了。他左手握住马的缰绳，右手抬起抓住第一个人物握住的轴。第三个人物骑向右，右手手掌中拿着一个垂直的物体，而他的马似乎也在吃或喝。第四匹马的头部和颈部从右侧的背景中出现，而骑手则向前倾斜。第四道身影已经失去了头颅，抬起右臂朝着前一道身影走去。第四匹马的头只是稍微低了一点。
介绍（英）	This enigmatic object is carved in high relief. Neither its original function nor the narrative are known, but the style of the carving suggests that it was made in Germany in the late 14th century. On one side, four lions are depicted against a background of trees. The opposite side depicts four male equestrian figures. On the left, the crowned figure of an old, bearded man leans forward as his horse lowers its head to eat or drink. The man brings his left hand to his eye, perhaps looking into the distance while he holds the reins or a shaft with his right hand. Immediately above this object, a hole is drilled into the surface, suggesting that the object represented continued on a now lost section. The next rider, to the right of this figure leans forward and looks up as his horse lowers its head to the ground. He, too, appears to be crowned. He holds the horse’s reins in his left hand while his right hand is raised to grasp the shaft held by the first figure. The third figure rides toward the right, holding a vertical object in the palm of his right hand while his horse, too, appears to eat or drink. The head and neck of a fourth horse emerges from the background on the right while its rider leans forward. The fourth figure has lost its head, and raises his right arm toward the previous figure. The fourth horse has its head only somewhat lowered.
