介绍（中）	这种陶瓷器皿采用站立的野猪的形式。身体是空心的，作为一个容器，背部中心有一个小圆缘，鼻子上有一个洞。容器可以通过后面的大孔填充，而鼻子上的小孔用拇指闭合，一旦鼻子被揭开，液体就会流出。该容器由表面光滑的细粘土制成，在浅黄色陶瓷上装饰有深棕色油漆。覆盖在容器上的尖锐角度孵化让人联想到公猪的刚毛皮，尤其是沿着脊柱，它排成垂直行。眼睛由带有中心点的圆圈表示，就在小而警觉地抬起的耳朵下方。分裂的蹄子和胎锁是用粘土建模的。野猪驼背的姿势使船只具有潜在的爆炸性运动感，并提醒观众野猪是凶猛的动物，对田间的庄稼以及追捕它们的猎人构成危险。类似的动物形态或动物形状的船只是伊朗西南部原始埃兰时期（公元前3100-2900年）的特别特征。
介绍（英）	This ceramic vessel takes the form of a standing wild boar. The body is hollow, serving as a container, with a small round rim atop the center of the back and a hole pierced through the snout. The vessel could have been filled through the larger hole in the back while the smaller hole in the snout was held closed with a thumb, allowing the liquid to flow out once the snout was uncovered. Made of fine clay with a smoothed surface, the vessel is decorated in dark brown paint on buff-colored ceramic. The sharply angled hatching covering the vessel evokes the boar’s bristly hide, especially along the spine, where it is arranged in a vertical row. The eyes are indicated by circles with a central dot, just below the small, alertly raised ears. The split hooves and fetlocks are modeled in clay. The boar’s hunched posture lends the vessel a sense of potentially explosive movement, and reminds the viewer that wild boars are fierce animals that pose dangers to crops in the field, and to the hunters pursuing them. Similar zoomorphic, or animal-shaped, vessels are especially characteristic of the Proto-Elamite period (3100-2900 B.C.) in southwestern Iran.
