介绍（中）	印章在古代被用作所有权的标志和地位的徽章。这种密封是半球形的，并且是穿孔的，这样它就可以被悬挂，也许可以被磨损。在它扁平的一侧，描绘了一只躺着的、有角的动物。图像被雕刻在石头表面，当印章被压入粘土中时，图像会以浮雕的形式出现印章是在Qasr-i Abu Nasr的堡垒中挖掘出来的。该地点位于伊朗南部设拉子附近，位于防御山脉、可用水源和进入设拉子平原的道路交汇处的战略要地。它由大都会艺术博物馆的考古学家从1932-1935年挖掘了三季。从帕提亚时期（公元前3世纪-公元3世纪）到穆扎法里德时期（公元13-14世纪），该镇被占领，至少是间歇性的。主要的占领，包括广泛的堡垒，可以追溯到萨珊晚期（公元6-7世纪）。 Qasr-i Abu Nasr的东部是一个凸起的高原，大致呈三角形。在萨珊王朝时期，高原被城墙加固，并被密集占领。堡垒的考古发现表明了广泛的防御和管理措施。
介绍（英）	Stamp seals were used in antiquity as marks of ownership and badges of status. This seal is hemispheroid in shape and is pierced so that it could be suspended and perhaps worn. On its flattened side, a recumbent, horned animal is depicted. The image is carved into the surface of the stone and appears in relief when the seal is pressed into clay. The seal was excavated in the fortress at Qasr-i Abu Nasr. The site is located near Shiraz in southern Iran at a strategic point at the intersection of defensive mountains, available water sources, and along roads entering the Shiraz plain. It was excavated by archaeologists from The Metropolitan Museum of Art for three seasons from 1932-1935. The town was occupied, at least intermittently, from the Parthian period (3rd century B.C.–3rd century A.D.) to the Muzaffarid period (13th-14th century A.D.). The major occupation, including the extensive fortress, dates to the Late Sasanian period (6th-7th century A.D.). The eastern part of Qasr-i Abu Nasr is a raised plateau of a roughly triangular shape. During the Sasanian period the plateau was fortified by a wall and densely occupied. Archaeological finds from the fortress show a wide range of defensive and administrative practices.
