介绍（中）	这个圆形的石盘位于高环底座上。它有一个短的边缘，手柄是两个鸭头或鹅头背靠背，它们的喙连接到托盘的边缘。它由一块黑色的石头制成，显示出在古代被砸碎的迹象。这个托盘是在阿契美尼德波斯帝国首都波斯波利斯的财政部出土的。它与其他近600个石盘和器皿一起被发现。这些可能是波斯国王餐桌设置的一部分。他们可能在公元前330年占领波斯波利斯时被亚历山大大帝的士兵摧毁。手柄上的鸭头模仿了埃及的石器，这增加了托盘是在埃及制造的可能性，或者像波斯波利斯的大部分建筑一样，灵感来自埃及的例子。事实上，在财政部也发现了一些带有象形文字铭文的石器，命名埃及法老。
介绍（英）	This round stone tray sits on a high ring base. It has a short rim, with a handle in the form of two duck or goose heads back to back, with their beaks connecting to the edge of the tray. It is made of a black stone, and it shows signs of having been smashed in antiquity. This tray was excavated in the Treasury at Persepolis, the capital of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. It was found along with nearly 600 other stone trays and vessels. Possibly these were part of the Persian king’s table settings. They were probably destroyed by the soldiers of Alexander the Great when they captured Persepolis in 330 B.C. The duck heads on the handle mimic Egyptian stone vessels, which raises the possibility that the tray was made in Egypt, or, like much of the architecture at Persepolis, was inspired by Egyptian examples. Indeed, some stone vessels bearing hieroglyphic inscriptions naming Egyptian pharaohs were also found in the Treasury.
