介绍（中）	在伊朗哈桑鲁的发掘中发现了大量的雕刻象牙碎片，这些碎片可能装饰了木制家具或被用作盒子等小型珍贵物品。哈桑鲁的城堡在公元前 800 年左右遭到袭击和摧毁，很可能是强大的乌拉尔图国的军队袭击和摧毁的，乌拉尔图以今天的亚美尼亚、土耳其东部和伊朗西北部为中心。在摧毁城堡的大火中，许多物体被压碎和破碎。大多数哈桑鲁象牙的黑色外观是由于它们在城堡被摧毁时暴露在高温下。这个 pyxis 或盒子的碎片描绘了一个坐着的狮身人面像。没有胡须的狮身人面像，也许是雌性狮身人面像戴着一顶柔软的尖顶帽，额头上有一条带子，藏在耳朵后面。一缕卷曲的头发覆盖在脖子后面。眼睛的瞳孔被钻孔以接收镶嵌物，现在缺失了，构成翅膀羽毛的部分也是如此。机翼的底部边缘仍然保留了一小块原始的金箔。pyxis的底部最初通过销钉固定在侧面。虽然底座不再保存，但其中一个销钉仍然存在，插入到钻入该碎片的孔中。
介绍（英）	Excavations at Hasanlu in Iran yielded a large number of carved ivory fragments which probably decorated wooden furniture or were used as small precious objects such as boxes. The citadel at Hasanlu was attacked and destroyed around 800 B.C., most likely by military forces of the powerful state of Urartu, centered in present-day Armenia, eastern Turkey, and northwestern Iran. In the fire that destroyed the citadel, many objects were crushed and shattered. The blackened appearance of most of the Hasanlu ivories is due to their exposure to high temperatures at the time of the citadel’s destruction. This fragment of a pyxis, or box, depicts a seated sphinx. The beardless, perhaps female sphinx wears a soft peaked cap with a band at the forehead, tucked behind the ear. A curled lock of hair covers the back of the neck. The pupil of the eye is drilled to receive an inlay, now missing, as are the sections that make up the wing feathers. The bottom edge of the wing still preserves a small piece of its original gold foil. The base of the pyxis was originally attached to the sides by means of dowels. Although the base is no longer preserved, one of the dowels still remains, inserted into a hole drilled into this fragment.
