介绍（中）	这个人物戴着下埃及的红色王冠，脸上似乎反映了在位国王的特征，很可能是阿蒙涅姆哈特二世或森沃斯雷特二世。然而，神圣的方格呢短裙表明，小雕像不仅仅是在世统治者的象征。与现藏于开罗埃及博物馆的戴着上埃及白色王冠的雕像一起，这尊雕像被发现站在一座神龛后面，神龛里有一件阿努比斯神的圣物，即所谓的伊穆特（14.3.18和.19），这两尊雕像可以被理解为是伊穆特的守护者。1914年，在博物馆挖掘第十二王朝官员伊姆霍特普的马斯塔巴周围的泥砖围墙时，在利什特南部森沃斯雷特一世金字塔周围的地区发现了这套合奏。围墙的南部建了一个房间，小雕像和神龛藏在里面，毫无疑问，这是在一场戏剧性的葬礼上发挥了作用之后博客文章链接我早期在中王国的生活
介绍（英）	This figure wears the red crown of Lower Egypt and the face appears to reflect the features of the reigning king, most probably Amenemhat II or Senwosret II. However, the divine kilt suggests that the statuette was not merely a representation of the living ruler. Together with its counterpart wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt, now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, the figure was discovered standing behind a shrine that contained an object sacred to the god Anubis, the so-called Imiut (14.3.18 and .19), and the two figures could be understood to have functioned as guardians of the Imiut. The ensemble was discovered in 1914 in the area surrounding the pyramid of Senwosret I at Lisht South during the Museum's excavation of a mud-brick enclosure surrounding the mastaba of Imhotep, a Twelfth Dynasty official. A chamber had been built into the south part of the enclosure wall and in it the statuettes and shrine were hidden, doubtlessly after having played a part in a dramatic funerary ceremony.
