介绍（中）	这个水晶瓶装饰着浮雕，以站在三级平台上的双臂十字架为中心，让人想起基督被钉十字架的各各他。十字架的每个臂都通过"x"标记连接到直立处。藤蔓带有精心铰接的三叶叶从基部最低台阶的每一端向上滚动;十字架两侧的叶子是拜占庭艺术中流行的图案。在烧瓶的背面，精心雕刻的柳叶刀叶的轮廓以扩展重复出现，直到它们在每侧终止为垂直带;这些带子上精心设计了条纹和珠子图案。装饰区由两个雕刻成浮雕的简单带子在上方和下方衬托。在底部，带子下方的区域向下弯曲成一个略微碎裂的延伸圆柱形脚。芯片表明，这只脚曾经连接到一个支架上，可能是金属制品。在顶部，血管更直接地从带延伸到略微弯曲的唇部。同样，唇上的碎屑表明它曾经有一个配件或安装座。
介绍（英）	This rock crystal flask is decorated in a relief carving centered on a double-armed cross standing on a three-stepped platform, an evocation of Golgotha where Christ was crucified. Each arm of the cross is attached to the upright by an "x" mark. Vines with carefully articulated trilobed leaves scroll upward from each end of the lowest step of the base; leaves flanking a cross were a popular motif in Byzantine art. On the reverse of the flask, outlines of a carefully carved lancet leaf appear in expanding repeats until they terminate into vertical bands on each side; the bands are elaborately detailed with striations and bead motifs. The decorated zone is set off above and below by two simple bands carved in relief. At the base, the area below the bands curves down into a slightly chipped, extended cylindrical foot. The chips suggest the foot was once attached to a mount, possibly metalwork. At the top, the vessel extends more directly from the bands to the slightly curved lip. Again, chips on the lip suggest that it once had a fitting or a mount.
