介绍（中）	这是一个青铜镶嵌的三叶箭头（即"三叶"）。它是在伊朗东北部的Yarim Tepe发掘的，位于现代城镇Gonbad-e Kavus以南六英里处。Yarim Tepe是一个小定居点，从新石器时代到帕提亚时期都有人居住，有很多中断。三叶箭头曾与公元前8世纪入侵近东的欧亚草原游牧民族斯基泰人和西默瑞安人联系在一起。然而，这种类型的箭头在空间和时间上出现得非常广泛，这表明它在古代近东被广泛使用，无疑是因为它具有穿甲的功效。由于它与帕提亚陶器一起被发现于最早的亚林特佩，因此这个箭头很可能是帕提亚时期的。帕提亚人在古代以弓箭手而闻名，并将他们的名字命名为"帕提亚射击"，这是一种骑在马背上的弓箭手向敌人射箭时远离敌人的战术。
介绍（英）	This is a bronze socketed trilobate (i.e., ‘three-bladed’) arrowhead. It was excavated at Yarim Tepe in northeastern Iran, six miles south of the modern town of Gonbad-e Kavus. Yarim Tepe was a small settlement, inhabited from the Neolithic to the Parthian period, with many interruptions. Trilobate arrowheads were once associated with the Scythians and Cimmerians, nomadic peoples from the Eurasian steppe who invaded the Near East in the 8th century B.C. However, this type of arrowhead appears far and wide in space and time, indicating it was widely used in the ancient Near East, doubtless on account of its efficacy at piercing armor. Since it was found in the earliest level at Yarim Tepe along with Parthian pottery, this arrowhead is most likely of Parthian date. The Parthians were famed in antiquity as archers, and gave their name to the ‘Parthian shot,’ a tactic in which a mounted archer rides away from his enemy while firing arrows at him.
