介绍（中）	数百年来，鱼叉对生活在西伯利亚和阿拉斯加之间白令海两岸的人们的生活方式至关重要。作为狩猎海洋哺乳动物的基础，鱼叉经历了漫长的发展期，公元前1500年左右拨动鱼叉的出现尤为重要。这些鱼叉的元素——头部、前轴、套筒件和配重——由海象象牙制成，随着时间的推移，它们的表面被精心雕刻成切割的图像。动物精神 - 用于吸引猎人 - 以及为武器本身增加力量的精神助手是描绘之一。到公元一千年上半叶，切割的图案变得既优雅又复杂，通常包括"隐藏"或难以阅读的图像。到那个千年末，鱼叉配重，由于其形状也被称为有翼物体，不再在阿拉斯加制造。
介绍（英）	For many hundreds of years, the harpoon was essential to the lifeways of the peoples living on either side of the Bering Sea between Siberia and Alaska. As the basis for the hunting of sea mammals, the harpoon went through a long period of development, and the advent of the toggling harpoon in about 1500 B.C. was particularly significant. Elements of these harpoons—head, foreshaft, socket piece, and counterweight—were made of walrus ivory, and over time their surfaces were elaborated with delicately incised images. Animal spirits—used to attract game to the hunter—and spirit helpers that added strength to the weapon itself were among the depictions. By the first half of the first millennium A.D., the incised patterns had become both elegant and complex and often included "hidden" or difficult to read images. By the end of that millennium, the harpoon counterweights, also known as winged objects because of their shape, were no longer made in Alaska.
