介绍（中）	这顶金帽子是在巴比伦以南的古城迪尔巴特（47.1a-h）发现的一组黄金珠宝元素和圆柱印章的一部分。这顶帽子和另外两顶类似的帽子来自所谓的"迪尔巴特宝藏"（41.1j，41.1k），上面装饰着黄金颗粒的三角形。最初，这个盖子应该是一对封装气缸密封的盖子中的一个。（在窖藏中发现的印章不适合帽子。）帽子顶部的一个洞表明，帽子及其圆柱体是由个人所有者串起来佩戴的，但可能不是窖藏所代表的组合的一部分，其中包括各种风格的吊坠和珠子以及金合金，并采用不同的工艺制作尽管圆柱体很少与盖子一起保存，但显示三角形边界的圆柱体印章的印痕表明，像这种盖子的使用在卡西特时期（约公元前1595-1155年）变得特别流行。金帽与色彩鲜艳、高度抛光的圆柱形印章石相结合，将打造出一件吸引人的珠宝，并强调石头的魔力，它可以作为佩戴者的保护护身符。
介绍（英）	This gold cap is part of a group of gold jewelry elements and cylinder seals found buried together at the ancient city of Dilbat, a site south of Babylon (47.1a-h). The cap and two others like it from the so-called “Dilbat hoard” (41.1j, 41.1k) are decorated with triangles of gold granulation. Originally, this cap would have been one of a pair that encased a cylinder seal. (The seals found in the hoard do not fit the caps.) A hole at the top of the cap suggests that the cap and its cylinder were meant to be strung and worn by the individual owner, but probably not as part of a composite ensemble represented by the hoard, which includes pendants and beads made in a range of styles and gold alloys, and executed with varying levels of craftsmanship. Although it is rare for a cylinder to be preserved with its caps, impressions of cylinder seals showing borders of triangles indicate that the use of caps like this one became particularly popular during the Kassite period (ca. 1595-1155 B.C.). The combination of gold caps with brightly colored and highly polished cylinder seal stones would have created an appealing item of jewelry and emphasized the magical powers of the stone, which could act as a protective amulet for the wearer.
