介绍（中）	这个碗的形状像一艘船，每边的末端和中间都有大叶子，中间穿插着较小的叶子。裂片的边缘是镀金的，四个大裂片的内部也是如此。大裂片的外部装饰着珍珠鸡（野鸡的近亲），在花卉和几何图案的圆形边框内，这些图案被切割并填充了niello。小裂片呈扇形。碗的内部有一个鱼的图像，有一个分叉的尾鳍和四排水平鳞片。这种鱼很可能是一种咸水物种，如金枪鱼或皇后鱼（scomberoides），原产于印度洋，尽管它可能不打算代表特定的物种。鱼也以尼罗和镀金呈现。碗位于长方形环形底座上。底部是一枚邮票，设计不确定。这个碗可能是与萨珊王室关系密切的人拥有的餐桌服务的一部分。这是因为银器的生产受到法院的密切监控;这艘船底部的印章大概表明它是在官方车间制作的。形状表明它是一个服务容器。裂片椭圆形碗在萨珊王朝的金属制品中是众所周知的。然而，这个碗表现出拜占庭银器中常见的某些特征，包括高底座、凹形边缘、扇形叶上的凹槽以及鱼的详细渲染。珍珠鸡同样出现在萨珊和拜占庭的金属制品中。这个碗似乎是在一个借鉴各种模型的车间制作的。因此，它反映了公元六世纪和七世纪萨珊帝国的世界性。
介绍（英）	This bowl is shaped like a boat, with large lobes at the ends and middle of each side interspersed with smaller ones. The edges of the lobes are gilt, as are the interiors of the four large lobes. The exteriors of the large lobes are decorated with guineafowl (a close relative of the pheasant) inside round borders of floral and geometric motifs, which are incised and filled with niello. The small lobes are scalloped. The interior of the bowl has an image of a fish with a forked tailfin and four rows of horizontal scales. The fish is likely a saltwater species, such as a tuna or queenfish (scomberoides), native to the Indian Ocean, though it may just as well not be intended to represent a specific species. The fish is also rendered in niello and gilt. The bowl sits on an oblong ring base. On the bottom is a stamp, with an indeterminate design. This bowl was probably part of a table service owned by someone closely connected to the Sasanian royal court. This is because the production of silver vessels was closely monitored by the court; the stamp on the bottom of this vessel presumably indicates that it was made in an official workshop. The shape suggests that it was a serving vessel. Lobed elliptical bowls are well-known in Sasanian metalwork. This bowl, however, exhibits certain features that are common in Byzantine silver vessels, including the high base, the concave rim, the fluting on the scalloped lobes, and the detailed rendering of the fish. The guineafowl similarly occurs in both Sasanian and Byzantine metalwork. It seems that this bowl was made in a workshop that drew on diverse models. Thus it reflects the cosmopolitan nature of the Sasanian Empire in the sixth and seventh centuries A.D.
