介绍（中）	这些深蓝色的玻璃条是在阿尔斯兰·塔什发现的，还有一大群雕刻的象牙家具镶嵌物。这些碎片的颜色表明，在玻璃基质中添加了铜或钴等金属矿石。它们可能是为了模仿青金石，青金石是一种深蓝色的半宝石，开采于阿富汗东北部，受到亚述人的珍视。这些碎片可能是由腓尼基工匠制造的，他们擅长将玻璃镶嵌到象牙中。两片羽毛呈长羽毛形状，尽管其中一片的尖端无法存活。这些碎片可能被镶嵌在一种神奇生物翅膀内的景泰蓝（有墙的牢房）中，比如雕刻的象牙家具镶嵌物上的狮身人面像，然后将其连接到一件木制家具上。这两个矩形条带可能是直接设置在一件家具上的 Arslan Tash，古哈达图，是叙利亚北部幼发拉底河以东的一个阿拉米城镇，靠近现代土耳其边境。1928年，法国在该遗址的考古发掘揭示了城墙和大门，以及新亚述国王蒂格拉特·皮勒塞三世（公元前744年至公元前721年）将该镇变成省会和军事前哨时建造的宫殿和寺庙。在发掘过程中，在宫殿附近的一座建筑中发现了100多个象牙家具镶嵌物。金箔、油漆、半宝石和玻璃镶嵌装饰使这些宏伟的艺术作品充满活力。如今，阿尔斯兰·塔什的象牙和装饰元素被存放在巴黎、阿勒颇、耶路撒冷、卡尔斯鲁厄和汉堡的博物馆以及大都会艺术博物馆。
介绍（英）	These dark blue strips of glass were found at Arslan Tash, together with a large group of carved ivory furniture inlays. The color of these pieces suggests that a metal ore such as copper or cobalt was added to the glass matrix. They may have been intended to imitate lapis lazuli, a dark blue semiprecious stone mined in northeastern Afghanistan that was prized by the Assyrians. These pieces were probably manufactured by Phoenician craftsmen who were expert at inlaying glass into ivories. Two pieces take the shape of long feathers, although the tip of one does not survive. These pieces may have been inlaid into cloisons (walled cells) within the wing of a fantastic creature such as a sphinx on a carved ivory furniture inlay, which was then joined to a piece of wooden furniture. The two rectangular strips may have been set directly into a piece of furniture. Arslan Tash, ancient Hadatu, was an Aramaean town located in northern Syria just east of the Euphrates River, close to the modern Turkish border. French archaeological excavations at the site in 1928 revealed city walls and gates in addition to a palace and temple that were built when the Neo-Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III (744-721 B.C.) turned the town into a provincial capital and military outpost. During the excavations, over one hundred ivory furniture inlays were found in a building near the palace. Gold foil, paint, and semiprecious stone and glass inlay embellishments enlivened these magnificent works of art. Today, the ivories and decorative elements from Arslan Tash are housed in museums in Paris, Aleppo, Jerusalem, Karlsruhe, and Hamburg, as well as The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
