介绍（中）	这个碗的侧面略微弯曲，下部呈圆锥形，末端是一个小而平坦的底座。它由带有棕色装饰的细浅黄色粘土制成，即两条粗的水平带，它们之间有重叠的 X 序列。碗上的水平痕迹表明它是用慢轮完成的。这个碗于1932年在伊朗西南部的Tall-i Bakun A出土，这是波斯波利斯附近的史前遗址。在公元前五千年期间，巴贡是在高原饲养绵羊和山羊的游牧民族与在马夫达什特平原种植大麦、小麦和豌豆的农民之间的贸易中心。结果，它成长为一个主要的行政中心，在那里发现的许多邮票印章证明了这一点。牧民使用的大部分陶器也是制作的地方，包括这个碗。虽然它有一个平底，但碗可能与支架一起使用，因为在巴贡发现了几个。这将使碗更容易在崎岖的地形上使用，即使这意味着携带更多。鉴于它的大小，这个碗很可能是一个水杯，尽管目前还不清楚它喝了什么。
介绍（英）	This bowl has gently curving sides that give way to a conical shape in its lower section, terminating in a small, flat base. It is made of a fine buff clay with painted brown decorations, namely two thick horizontal bands with an overlapping sequence of Xs in between them. Horizontal marks on the bowl suggest that it was finished using a slow wheel. This bowl was excavated in 1932 at Tall-i Bakun A in southwestern Iran, a prehistoric site near Persepolis. During the fifth millennium B.C. Bakun was a hub for trade between pastoral nomads who raised sheep and goats in the highlands and the farmers who raised barley, wheat and peas in the Marvdasht Plain. As a result it grew into a major administrative center, as attested by the many stamp seals found there. It was also where much of the pottery used by the pastoralists was made, including this bowl. Although it has a flat bottom, the bowl was probably used with a stand, as several have been found at Bakun. This would have made the bowl easier to use on rough terrain, even if it meant more to carry. Given its size the bowl was most likely a drinking cup, though it is unclear what was drunk from it.
