介绍（中）	这块陶瓷碎片是在 637 年被阿拉伯穆斯林军队征服的萨珊王朝大都市和行政首都 Ctesiphon 出土的。这座城市在阿拉伯语中被称为al-Mada'in，或"城市"，因为它的面积扩大。阿拉伯历史学家沉迷于描述al-Mada'in/Ctesiphon的宏伟纪念碑，这些纪念碑痴迷于穆斯林统治者，并可能获得了与其帝国过去有关的象征意义。Taq-i Kisra就是这种情况，这是一个令人印象深刻的伊万（一个一侧开放的拱形大厅），部分拆除，以便在新首都巴格达的哈里发建筑中重复使用其砖块。像这样的碎片是在一个名为Selman Pak V的遗址中挖掘出来的，证明了在伊斯兰早期对Ctesiphon市区的持续占领。手柄最初属于水壶或水壶，上面涂有不透明的白色釉料，并涂有光泽的绿金色。拇指托，有时是动物或头巾的形状，常见于9至11世纪的无釉陶瓷上。
介绍（英）	This ceramic fragment was excavated in Ctesiphon, the Sasanian metropolis and administrative capital conquered by Arab Muslim armies in 637. The city was known in Arabic as al-Mada’in, or "the cities", for its extended area. Arab historians indulge in describing al-Mada’in/Ctesiphon’s grand monuments, which obsessed Muslim rulers and may have acquired a symbolic meaning related to its imperial past. This was the case of the Taq-i Kisra, an impressively-sized ivan (a vaulted hall with one side open) partially dismantled to reuse its bricks in caliphal buildings in the new capital Baghdad. Finds like this fragment, which was excavated at a site named Selman Pak V, attest to the continued occupation of Ctesiphon’s urban area in the early Islamic period. The handle would have originally belonged to a ewer or a jug, glazed with an opacified white glaze, and luster-painted in a greenish-gold color. Thumb rests, sometimes in the shape of an animal or a turban, are commonly found on unglazed ceramics of the 9th to 11th centuries.
