介绍（中）	这个杯子有一个狭窄的底部，薄壁和笔直的侧面。它由浅黄色粘土制成，带有棕色装饰，即一排排水平线点缀着四个程式化的野山羊，它们的角曲线内和身体下方都有点。内部的轮子线表明它是在陶轮上制作的。这个杯子是在伊朗北部现代城市达姆汉附近的Tepe Hissar出土的。Tepe Hissar主要是一个农业定居点，尽管植物种植的大部分证据可以追溯到后期，建筑物由泥砖或简单的泥墙制成。这个杯子属于希萨尔IB时期，可追溯到公元前4000年。在此期间，该遗址有一个活跃且技术娴熟的陶瓷工业，生产形状良好的容器，装饰有几何设计和山羊，瞪羚和鸟类的风格化图像。事实上，这艘船是伊朗最早的野山羊图像之一，因此是描绘这种标志性动物的悠久传统的开端。但目前尚不清楚这些船只的用途。这个杯子是在坟墓里发现的，事实上，Tepe Hissar的大多数坟墓都装有杯子，这表明饮酒在那里的生死中起着重要作用。
介绍（英）	This cup has a narrow base, thin walls, and straight sides. It is made of a buff clay, with brown decorations, namely rows of horizontal lines interspersed with four stylized ibexes with dots inside the curve of their horns and under their bodies. Wheel lines on the inside indicate that it was made on a potter’s wheel. This cup was excavated at Tepe Hissar, near the modern city of Damghan in northern Iran. Tepe Hissar was primarily an agricultural settlement, though much of the evidence for plant cultivation dates to later periods, with buildings made of mudbrick or simply mud walls. This cup belongs to the Hissar IB period, dating to ca. 4000 B.C. During this period there was a lively and technically proficient ceramic industry at the site, producing well-formed vessels decorated with geometric designs and stylized images of ibexes, gazelles and birds. Indeed, this vessel is one of the earliest images of an ibex from Iran, and thus stands at the beginning of a long tradition of depicting this iconic animal. But it is not known what these vessels were used for. This cup was found in a grave, and indeed most of the graves at Tepe Hissar contained cups, suggesting that drinking played a significant role in life, or death, there.
