介绍（中）	这尊雕像背面的铭文将阿尔西诺伊二世女王称为女神，表明这尊雕像制作于公元前270年之后，当时她的兄弟兼丈夫托勒密二世在她去世时建立了她的崇拜。她的脸上曾经覆盖着象征神性的镀金，领口的边缘仍然留有痕迹虽然这尊小雕像的正面姿势和四肢布局遵循了埃及传统，但女王手中的聚宝盆是希腊的神圣属性，她的开瓶器与埃及的希腊化传统有着密切的联系。描绘的特点——小丘比特的弓嘴和大而圆的眼睛——也是希腊风格的元素。风格比较表明，这尊雕像创作于公元前2世纪下半叶。 Arsinoe的神化是希腊化世界统治者崇拜现象的一部分，这些崇拜是为了纪念领导人而建立的，有时甚至是在活着的时候；被神化的统治者的雕像可能被放置在其他神的寺庙里。像伊西斯和哈托尔这样的本土女神的重要性可能会鼓励托勒密王朝建立一位杰出的女王。对埃及法老时期女王的崇拜相当罕见，尽管也有明显的例外，比如Ahmose Nefertari
介绍（英）	The inscription on the back of this figure refers to Queen Arsinoe II as a goddess, indicating it was made after 270 B.C. when her cult was established at the time of her death in by her brother and husband, Ptolemy II. Gilding indicating divinity once covered her face, and traces still remain at the edges of her neckline. While the overall frontal pose and disposition of the limbs in this small statue follows Egyptian traditions, the cornucopia the queen holds is a Greek divine attribute, and her corkscrew are strongly associated with Hellenistic traditions in Egypt. Features of the depiction – the small Cupid’s bow mouth and the large rounded eyes – are also elements from Greek style. Stylistic comparisons indicate this statue was created in the second half of the second century B.C. Arsinoe’s deification is part of the phenomenon of ruler cults in the Hellenistic world established to honor leaders, sometimes even while living; statues of the deified ruler might be placed in the temples of other gods. The importance of native goddesses like Isis and Hathor might have encouraged the Ptolemies to establish a prominent queen. Worship of Egyptian pharaonic period queens is rather rare, although there are notable exceptions such as Ahmose-Nefertari
