介绍（中）	水缸是一种用来倒水的容器，在宗教和世俗场合，牧师在弥撒前和用餐前在私人家庭洗手时都会使用。这一著名例子的主题是亚里士多德和菲利斯的道德传奇，在中世纪晚期获得了广泛的欢迎。希腊哲学家、亚历山大大帝的导师亚里士多德允许自己被诱人的菲利斯羞辱，作为对这位年轻统治者的教训，她屈服于她的诡计，忽视了国家事务。亚里士多德鼓励亚历山大见证自己的愚蠢，他解释说，如果他是一个老年人，那么很容易上当受骗，那么对一个年轻人来说，潜在的后果就更危险了。下流的主题表明，这件海蓝宝石是为家庭环境制作的，在那里，它会成为餐桌上客人的娱乐对象。
介绍（英）	An aquamanile is a vessel for pouring water used in the ritual of washing hands in both religious and secular contexts—by the priest before Mass and in a private household before a meal. The subject of this celebrated example is the moralizing legend of Aristotle and Phyllis, which achieved popularity in the late Middle Ages. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and tutor of Alexander the Great, allowed himself to be humiliated by the seductive Phyllis as a lesson to the young ruler, who had succumbed to her wiles and neglected the affairs of state. Encouraging Alexander to witness his folly, Aristotle explained that if he, an old man, could be so easily deceived, the potential consequences for a young man were even more perilous. The ribald subject indicates that this aquamanile was made for a domestic setting, where it would have doubled as an object of entertainment for guests at the table.
