介绍（中）	这款青铜手镯的末端呈程式化动物的形式。这些动物有细长的鼻子，张开的嘴，凸出的眼睛，长长的脖子和伸展的前腿。每个戒指的背面都出现了一个戒指。尽管由于动物的状况和风格化的形式，很难识别这些动物，但与其他归因于卢里斯坦的手镯和金属物品进行比较表明它们是狮子。这只手镯是在伊朗西部扎格罗斯山脉卢里斯坦的一个定居点苏尔克杜姆出土的。它是埋在门框下的一大堆物体的一部分，该结构被解释为避难所;因此，这些物品可能是为神灵制作的祭品。狮子意象是古代伊朗艺术中的常见特征。在埃兰和阿契美尼德，艺术狮子与王权有关。它们在铁器时代经常被认为是卢里斯坦的青铜制品中也占有突出地位，在那里它们可能象征着自然的力量。事实上，卢里斯坦是一个崎岖的地区，因此狮子是生活在那里所面临的挑战的适当象征。
介绍（英）	This bronze bracelet has terminals in the form of stylized animals. The animals have elongated snouts, open mouths, bulging eyes, long necks and extended forelegs. A ring emerges from the back of each. Although the animals are difficult to identify on account of their condition and stylized form, comparison with other bracelets and metal objects attributed to Luristan suggests that they are lions. This bracelet was excavated at Surkh Dum, a settlement site in Luristan in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. It was part of a large hoard of objects buried beneath a doorjamb in a structure interpreted as a sanctuary; thus the objects were probably offerings made for a god. Lion imagery is a common feature in ancient Iranian art. In Elamite and Achaemenid art lions were associated with kingship. They also figure prominently in the bronzework that is frequently attributed to Luristan in the Iron Age, where they may symbolize the power of nature. Indeed, Luristan is a rugged region, and lions were thus an appropriate symbol of the challenges of living there.
