介绍（中）	在沙普尔二世统治时期（公元310–379年在位），猎人国王成为银盘上的标准形象。该图案象征着萨珊王朝统治者的高超技艺，这些皇家牌匾经常作为礼物送给邻近的宫廷和附庸。这个例子中的场景很引人注目：国王站着杀死一只正在饲养的雄鹿，雄鹿伸出的舌头表明他要么已经死了，要么已经死。国王因其王冠而被确认为亚兹德加德一世（公元399-420年在位），尽管其顶部是一个有条纹的球体，而不是通常代表他的布制球体。他的串珠裙与伊朗Taq-i Bustan的沙普尔二世（公元310-379年在位）、沙普尔三世（公元383-388年在位）和阿尔达希尔二世（公元379-383年在位）的岩石浮雕相似。新月形尖端的长矛，带有人拳形式的配重，在萨珊银盘上的武器中是独一无二的萨珊银盘通常被锤成形状，然后使用各种复杂的技术进行装饰。在这个例子中，镀金覆盖了除了国王的脸和手之外的整个设计，并在几个区域添加了金属片以形成高浮雕。脚上的铭文损坏得无法辨认，但很可能提到了国王的名字和盘子的重量。
介绍（英）	The king as hunter became a standard image on silver plates during the reign of Shapur II (r. 310–379). The motif symbolizes the prowess of Sasanian rulers, and these royal plates were often sent as gifts to neighboring and vassal courts. The scene on this example is striking: the king is depicted standing and slaying a rearing stag, whose protruding tongue indicates that he is either dying or already dead. The king is identifiable as Yazdgard I (r. 399-420) due to his crown, although it is topped with a striated globe rather than the cloth-covered one with which he is normally represented. His beaded skirt resembles those shown on the rock reliefs of Shapur II (r. 310-379), Shapur III (r. 383-388) and Ardashir II (r. 379-383) at Taq-i Bustan, Iran. The crescent-tipped spear with a counterweight in the form of a human fist is unique amongst weapons represented on Sasanian silver plates. Sasanian silver plates were usually hammered into shape and then decorated using a variety of complex techniques. On this example, gilding covers the entire design except for the king’s face and hands, and pieces of metal were added to create high relief in several areas. The inscription on the foot is too damaged to be legible, but most likely mentions the king’s name and the plate’s weight.
