介绍（中）	这个罐子有一个球形的身体，一个扁平的底座和一个狭窄的嘴。一个环柄，大到可以放一根手指，把脖子和身体连接起来。这个罐子是由浅黄色粘土制成的，上面有红色的装饰，包括边缘、颈部和把手上的条纹，以及从颈部射向身体的光线。内部的轮子线条表明它是在陶工的轮子上制作的这个罐子是在伊朗中部卡山附近的Tepe Sialk发掘的。Sialk是一座设防城镇的遗址，建于公元前一千年初。在距离该城镇几百码的地方，有一个大型墓地，1933年至1937年间探索过它的考古学家称之为墓地B。坟墓是由石头或粘土制成的倾斜屋顶覆盖的坑，除了死者的尸体外，还包括珠宝、武器、皮甲、马饰和陶瓷器皿，包括许多类似的罐子。它可能在被放入坟墓之前用于葬礼宴会或仪式；不管怎样，它在墓地的埋葬表明，饮酒是铁器时代Sialk生活和死亡的重要组成部分。
介绍（英）	This jug has a globular body, a flat base, and a narrow mouth. A loop handle, large enough for a single finger, connects the neck to the body. The jug is made of a buff clay with red painted decorations, including stripes around the rim and neck and on the handle, and rays descending from the neck to the body. Wheel lines on the interior indicate that it was made on a potter’s wheel. This jug was excavated at Tepe Sialk, near Kashan in central Iran. Sialk was the site of a fortified town, constructed in the early first millennium B.C. Several hundred yards from the town there was a large cemetery, called Necropolis B by the archaeologists who explored it between 1933 and 1937. The graves were pits covered with pitched roofs made of stone or clay, and in addition to the bodies of the dead they contained jewelry, weapons, leather armor, horse trappings and ceramic vessels, including many similar jugs. Possibly it was used in a funerary banquet or ritual before it was placed in the grave; regardless, its burial in the cemetery shows that drinking was an important part of life and death in Iron Age Sialk.
