介绍（中）	由灰绿色石头雕刻而成的器皿被称为"跨文化风格"，产于大海湾地区和伊朗南部。在伊朗的Tepe Yahya遗址，人们发现了一些作坊，里面有容器和制造它们的原材料——绿泥石或滑石——可以追溯到公元前三千年中期。附近的山丘上有这些石头。在海湾地区的一些地点也发现了集装箱碎片。从叙利亚到印度河流域，在古代近东地区都发现了这种风格的船只，这证明了当时长途贸易的繁荣这件作品有一个高高的形状，有一个张开的边缘，雕刻成重叠的山状图案和椰枣树的交替带。"跨文化风格"的主题包括植物、建筑、人和动物的抽象或自然主义表现在主要城市中心的宫殿和寺庙或特权阶层的坟墓中发现了许多挖掘的例子，包括苏美尔（早期王朝）美索不达米亚。这些容器的内容物可能也很有价值。
介绍（英）	Vessels carved of a gray-green stone in what is called the "Intercultural Style" were made in the greater Gulf area as well as in southern Iran. At the site of Tepe Yahya in Iran, workshops were found with vessels and the raw materials—chlorite or steatite—for their manufacture, dating to the mid-third millennium B.C. The stones were available in the nearby hills. Fragments of containers were also found at sites in the Gulf area. Vessels decorated in this style were found across the ancient Near East from Syria to the Indus Valley, evidence of the flourishing long-distance trade of the times. This piece has a tall shape with a flaring rim and is carved in alternating bands of an overlapping mountainlike pattern and date palm trees. The repertoire of motifs of the "Intercultural Style" includes vegetal, architectural, and abstract or naturalistic representations of people and animals. Many excavated examples have been found in palaces and temples or in graves of the privileged classes in major urban centers, including Sumerian (Early Dynastic) Mesopotamia. The vessels may also have been valuable for their contents.
