介绍（中）	灰泥浮雕通常被用来装饰伊旺和萨桑尼亚精英住宅的接待厅。在Ctesiphon地区挖掘的房屋中发现了许多例子，包括Ma’aridh VI的碎片，该碎片由一排菱形上方的半棕榈图案组成。使用模具制作灰泥可以创造出大规模的重复图案，如花卉和植物图案 Ctesiphon市位于底格里斯河东岸，距离现代伊拉克巴格达以南20英里（32公里）。它作为帕提亚人和萨萨尼亚人的首都繁荣了800多年，这两个王朝是七世纪伊斯兰征服前统治古代近东的最后两个王朝。1928年至29年，由德国东方学会（Deutsche Orient Gesellschaft）赞助的一支探险队在克特西丰地区进行了系统的挖掘。1931-32年，大都会艺术博物馆和柏林国家美术馆进行了一次为期一季的联合探险。进行了几次挖掘，包括在主宫殿（Taq-i Kisra）、Tell Dheheb宫殿南部的一个小设防区、Ma’aridh土堆的多栋房屋，以及一个名为Umm ez-Za'tir的小土堆的额外房屋在Ctesiphon地区的挖掘过程中，从一系列名为el Ma'aridh的小土堆中挖掘出了六栋房屋。Ma’aridh VI的房子只进行了部分挖掘，没有制定建筑平面图。然而，房子里的灰泥碎片表明，接待区的十字形壁龛装饰得很华丽。
介绍（英）	Stucco reliefs were commonly used to decorate the iwans and reception halls of elite Sasanian houses. Many examples were found in excavated houses in the Ctesiphon area including this fragment from Ma’aridh VI consisting of a design of half palmettes above a row of lozenges. The use of molds to make stuccos allowed for the creation of large scale repetitive patterns such as floral and vegetal motifs The city of Ctesiphon was located on the east bank of the Tigris River, 20 miles (32 km) south of modern Baghdad in Iraq. It flourished for more than 800 years as the capital of the Parthians and the Sasanians, the last two dynasties to rule the ancient Near East before the Islamic conquest in the seventh century. Systematic excavations in the Ctesiphon area were undertaken by an expedition in 1928–29 sponsored by the German Oriental Society (Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft). The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, undertook a joint expedition for one season in 1931–32. Several excavations were conducted, including at the main palace (Taq-i Kisra), in a small fortified area south of the palace at Tell Dheheb, at multiple houses at the mounds of Ma’aridh, and at additional houses at a small mound called Umm ez-Za’tir. Over the course of the excavations in the Ctesiphon area, six houses from a series of small mounds called el Ma’aridh were excavated. The house at Ma’aridh VI was only partially excavated and a plan of the building was not made. The stucco fragments from the house, however, suggest that the cruciform niches in the reception area were richly decorated.
