介绍（中）	这只青铜山羊矗立在底座上。它独特的长角回头触摸直立的耳朵。高地山羊是阿拉伯西南部艺术中最广泛代表的动物。仪式性高地山羊狩猎是阿拉伯西南部王国崇拜活动的一个重要特征。成功捕获和杀死这些难以捉摸的生物被认为可以获得众神的青睐。这个雕塑可能被用作类似于博物馆收藏的香炉的手柄（MMA 49.71.2）。从公元前一千年中期到公元六世纪，阿拉伯西南部的王国通过控制阿拉伯半岛和地中海沿岸土地之间的香火贸易，获得了可观的财富和权力。乳香和没药是原产于阿拉伯南部的胶树脂，在古代世界被广泛重视，用于制备香、香水、化妆品和药品，以及用于宗教和丧葬仪式。
介绍（英）	This bronze ibex stands on a base. Its distinctive long horns turn back to touch the upright ears. The ibex was the most widely represented animal in southwestern Arabian art. Ritual ibex hunts were an important feature of the cult practices of the southwestern Arabian kingdoms. Successfully capturing and killing these elusive creatures was believed to secure favors from the gods. This sculpture may have served as a handle for an incense burner similar to one in the Museum’s collection (MMA 49.71.2). From the middle of the first millennium B.C. until the sixth century A.D., the kingdoms of southwestern Arabia gained considerable wealth and power through their control of the trade in incense between Arabia and the lands of the Mediterranean seacoast. Frankincense and myrrh, gum resins that are native to southern Arabia, were widely valued in the ancient world for the preparation of incense, perfumes, cosmetics, and medicines, as well as for use in religious and funerary ceremonies.
