介绍（中）	这艘船由几个舍尔德重建而成，具有球状体和狭窄的颈部。它由浅灰色粘土制成，使用陶轮。它是在伊朗北部的Shahr-i Qumis挖掘的，该古城已被确定为帕提亚人在公元前200年左右建立的首都赫卡托皮洛斯古城。在希腊语中，Hecatompylos的意思是"一百个门"，这表明这座城市相当大。事实上，现代考古遗址包括几个土丘，其中只有少数被挖掘出来，以及一个覆盖着盆栽的广阔区域。这艘船是在第四地点的一口井中发现的。这口井似乎是故意填满的，但很难说这艘船是出于特定原因被放置在井中的，还是只是被丢弃了。在公元前1世纪末或公元1世纪初的某个时候，第四号遗址的大型建筑完全被泥土填满，也许是当帕提亚首都搬到其他地方时，城市的精英居民也随之离开。 1967年，英国波斯研究所在Shahr-i Qumis的发掘工作由大都会艺术博物馆共同赞助。然而，这艘船直到1971年才被发现，它是从英国研究所获得的，这是由于大都会博物馆为该研究所在伊朗另一个地点Tepe Nush-i Jan的挖掘工作提供了财政捐助。当时伊朗政府允许外国挖掘机保留部分发现，这些挖掘机反过来将在支持这项工作的机构之间分配他们的份额。
介绍（英）	This vessel, which has been reconstructed from several sherds, has a globular body and a narrow neck. It is made of a pale gray clay, using a potter’s wheel. It was excavated at Shahr-i Qumis in northern Iran, which has been identified as the ancient city of Hecatompylos established by the Parthians as their capital by about 200 B.C. In Greek Hecatompylos means ‘a hundred gates,’ suggesting that the city was quite large. Indeed, the modern archaeological site includes several mounds, only a few of which have been excavated, and a vast area covered with potsherds. This vessel was found in a well at Site IV. The well appears to be have been filled deliberately, but it is difficult to say whether this vessel was placed in the well for a specific reason or if it was simply discarded. The large building at Site IV was completely filled with dirt sometime in the late 1st century B.C. or early 1st century A.D., perhaps when the Parthian capital was moved elsewhere and the city’s elite residents left with it. The excavations at Shahr-i Qumis by the British Institute of Persian Studies in 1967 were co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, this vessel was not discovered until 1971, and it was acquired from the British Institute as a result of the Met’s financial contributions to the Institute’s excavations at Tepe Nush-i Jan, another site in Iran. At the time the Iranian government allowed foreign excavators to keep a portion of the finds, and these excavators in turn would divide their share among the institutions that supported the work.
