介绍（中）	在公元前十四世纪，希腊，特别是在阿尔戈利德和塞浦路斯，产生了宽阔而深沉的陨石坑，通常装饰着复杂的图画场景。这些作品中的许多都出现在塞浦路斯，它们通常被认为是以塞浦路斯 - 迈锡尼成语工作的艺术家。越来越多的证据表明，阿尔戈利德人和塞浦路斯之间的贸易很活跃，画画花瓶是大陆制造的主要商品，向东交易，可能是为了它们的内容以及器皿本身。科学测试证实了这些发现。最近的分析表明，这个战车陨石坑来自迈锡尼和贝尔巴蒂附近的一个经过充分证实的车间。战车是希腊大陆艺术中的一个重要主题;它在迈锡尼画报花瓶上的频率是整个亚群的特征。这些花瓶可能与丧葬习俗有关，在某些地区，它们可能被用作石棺。战车的乘员可能是死者，而辅助人物可能是神灵或葬礼仪式的参与者。
介绍（英）	During the fourteenth century B.C. broad and deep-bodied kraters, often decorated with complex pictorial scenes, were produced in Greece, particularly in the Argolid and in Cyprus. A great number of these works came to light on Cyprus, and they were often attributed to artists working in a Cypro-Mycenaean idiom. Evidence had increasingly indicated that trade between the Argolid and Cyprus was active and that the pictorial vases were a major commodity made on the mainland and traded eastward, probably for their contents as well as the ware itself. Scientific tests have corroborated these findings. Recent analyses have shown that this chariot krater came from a well-attested workshop in the vicinity of Mycenae and Berbati. The chariot was an important motif in art from the Greek mainland; its frequency on Mycenaean pictorial vases has characterized an entire subgroup. These vases were probably connected with funerary practices, and, in some regions, they may have served as sarcophagi. The occupants of the chariots may be the deceased, while the ancillary figures may be deities or participants in funerary observances.
