介绍（中）	罗马帝国西部与东部帕提亚土地之间的边界位于幼发拉底河中部和北部以及底格里斯河之间。伊拉克北部的哈特拉（Hatra）位于现代摩苏尔的西南部，是一个主要的贸易城市，坚固的防御罗马人的进攻。这块门楣石曾经是大伊万斯装饰门口的一部分，大伊万斯是哈特拉大寺庙围墙中心的主要寺庙建筑，最初的位置是雕刻表面面向地板的。这两种奇妙的生物有猫科动物的身体、长长的耳朵、翅膀和冠羽——这是近东狮鹫典型的动物和鸟类元素的组合。在两个人物之间是一个花瓶，里面装着一片程式化的荷叶和两个卷须。生物身体的自然主义造型和中央花瓶的形式反映了罗马的影响。然而，构图的绝对对称性、植物形态的明显简化以及狮子-狮鹫图案都是近东的特征。
介绍（英）	The border between the western empire of Rome and the Parthian lands in the east ran between the central and northern Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Hatra in northern Iraq, southwest of modern Mosul, was a major trading city heavily fortified against Roman attack. Once part of a decorated doorway in the Great Iwans, the main temple building at the heart of the Great Temple enclosure at Hatra, this lintel stone was originally positioned so that the carved surface faced the floor. The two fantastic creatures have feline bodies, long ears, wings, and crest feathers—a combination of animal and bird elements typical of Near Eastern lion-griffins. Between the two figures is a vase containing a stylized lotus leaf and two tendrils. The naturalistic modeling of the creatures' bodies and the form of the central vase reflect Roman influence. However, the absolute symmetry of the composition, the pronounced simplification of the plant forms, and the lion-griffin motif are all characteristic of the Near East.
