介绍（中）	这件金色贴花是一个公羊头的形状，面朝左侧。公羊的鼻孔、嘴巴、眼睛、下巴毛和耳朵都被切开，脖子上装饰着肉芽。一个短喇叭从头顶升起并向前弯曲。贴花的背面有两个环，用于将其连接到织物上此贴花是通过锤击一块黄金并在颈部添加受控的熔融黄金滴以形成肉芽而制成的。它最初会附着在衣服上，还有许多其他类似的贴花。山羊，特别是野山羊，是古代波斯图像学的一个重要方面。与平坦的美索不达米亚不同，伊朗有许多山脉，山羊以其独特的弯曲角成为伊朗身份的重要标志，甚至在该地区被称为"伊朗"之前
介绍（英）	This gold applique is in the form of a ram’s head, facing to the left. The ram’s nostrils, mouth, eyes, chin hair and ears are incised, and its neck is decorated with granulation. A short horn rises from the top of its head and curves forward. The back side of the applique has two loops for attaching it to fabric. This applique was made by hammering a single sheet of gold and adding controlled drops of molten gold to the neck to form the granulation. It would have been attached originally to clothing, along with many other similar appliques. Goats, specifically wild mountain goats, were an important aspect of ancient Persian iconography. Unlike Mesopotamia, which is flat, Iran has many mountains, and mountain goats, with their distinctive curved horns, became important markers of Iranian identity, even before the region came to be known as ‘Iran.’
