介绍（中）	这个小头被打破的雕像可能是一个私人的偶像。这些图标可能代表一位受人尊敬的、可能已经去世的、亲属、霸王或其他人，并被展示在家中或其他合适的地方，受到生者的关注和称呼。这个头像是在北郊一个拥挤地区的一所不起眼的私人住宅中发现的：如果它起源于那里，那么这样一尊精美的雕像可能是由代表委托给他的家属的。另见11.150.21。事实上，人们早就讨论过这个头像是代表非王室男性还是王室女性。受试者戴着一种在王室女性中很流行的假发，但不仅如此，官员身上也有这种假发。红色的皮肤颜色会指向男性，但在阿玛纳时期，皮肤颜色可能不是性别的可靠指标。如果有女性代表，那应该是一位组成团体的公主，并被安置在某个家中的王室圣地。但保存下来的群像都将公主描绘成年幼的孩子——无论她们的实际年龄如何。考虑到这些因素，头部似乎更有可能是男性的。
介绍（英）	The statue from which this small head is broken was probably a private icon. Such icons represent probably a revered, perhaps deceased, relative, overlord or other person, and were displayed in the home or other suitable places and received attentions and address from the living. This head was found in an unimpressive private house in a crowded area of the North Suburb: if it originated there, such a fine statue may have been commissioned by the person represented and given to those who were his dependents. See also 11.150.21. In fact, it has long been discussed whether this head represents a non-royal male or a royal female. The subject wears a type of wig popular among royal women, but not exclusively so - it is also found on officials. The red skin color would point to a male, but skin color may not be a reliable indicator of sex in the Amarna Period. If a female were represented, it should be a princess forming part of a group and would be be placed in a shrine to the royal family at some home. But the preserved group statues all depict the princesses as young children - whatever their actual age. Given these considerations, it seems more likely the head is that of a male.
