介绍（中）	在公元前第二个千年中期，伊朗西南部的埃兰国取得了新的政治和军事实力。在这一时期的几个重要遗址的发掘发现了独特的物品，这些物品证明了艺术家的独创性，并反映了对装饰元素的兴趣。这个模制的女性形象被描绘成一个有图案的头饰，戴着交叉的肩带，在她的乳房之间悬挂着一个滑环，并刻有人字形图案。她装饰着一条项链，每只手腕上的三个手镯和脚链。她双手握住乳房，增大的三角形由一排排卷发组成，平坦但肉感的身体和膨胀的双腿是这一时期裸体女性形象的特征。这个人物用她那双睁大的、有框的眼睛面对观众的目光。这种裸体女性形象经常被解释为生育数字。然而，由于他们的正面姿势、夸张的身体部位、挑衅的手势和装饰华丽的身体，它们可以被解释为色情图像。
介绍（英）	In the middle of the second millennium B.C., the state of Elam in southwestern Iran achieved new levels of political and military power. Excavations at several important sites of this period uncovered distinctive objects that attest to the originality of artists and reflect an interest in elements of adornment. This mold-made female figure is depicted with a patterned headdress and wears crossed shoulder bands that hang thought a slip ring between her breasts and are incised with a herringbone pattern. She is adorned with a necklace, three bracelets on each wrist, and anklets. She holds her breasts in her hands, her enlarged pubic triangle is made up of rows of curls, and her flat but fleshy body and distended legs are characteristic of nude female figures of this period. The figure confronts the gaze of the viewer with her wide, rimmed eyes. Such nude female images have often been interpreted as fertility figures. However, due to their frontal poses, exaggerated body parts, provocative gestures, and richly adorned bodies, they could be interpreted as erotic images.
