介绍（中）	晚期和托勒密时期的小型浮雕或雕塑以部分或未完成的方式描绘了一个主题，但它们本身就是完成的物体，构成了一类特殊的物体。艺术家的指导方针通常作为物品的一部分突出展出，尽管事实上，在许多情况下，可以注意到物品根本不能作为传统正式埃及代表的合适模型。王权的人物，可能代表现在新兴的半神伊姆霍特普和哈普之子阿蒙霍特普的人物，以及像哈波克拉特或伊西斯这样受欢迎的神，在语料库中有很大的代表性综合来看，所代表的人物和其他特征表明这一类别的浮雕和雕塑，有时被埃及学家称为"雕塑家的模型/誓言"，是捐赠实践的材料，可能与这些世纪多产的寺庙建筑有关。不幸的是，关于这种捐赠行为的机制，几乎没有什么可以告诉我们的这类物品中的一些皇家半身像描绘的是从石头表面出现的皇家形象。在许多情况下，王室半身像佩戴的是一条下垂的蛇，而不是抬高的眼镜蛇，这表明描绘了某种人格化大都会博物馆关于托勒密艺术的博客链接尼罗河与新来者：埃及托勒密艺术的新装置
介绍（英）	Small Late Period and Ptolemaic reliefs or sculptures that depict a subject in a partial or unfinished way but are themselves finished objects constitute a special class of object. Guidelines like those for artists are often prominently exhibited as part of the object, although, in fact, many instances can be noted where the object simply could not serve as a suitable model for a traditional formal Egyptian representation. Personifications of kingship, figures that may represent the now emerging demigods Imhotep and Amenhotep Son of Hapu, and popular gods like Harpokrates or Isis, are heavily represented within the corpus. Taken together, the figures represented and the other features indicate the reliefs and sculptures of this class, sometimes called by Egyptologists "sculptor’s models / votives," were the material of a donation practice, perhaps connected with the prolific temple building of these centuries. Unfortunately there is little to illuminate us about the mechanics of such a donation practice. A number of the royal busts among this class of object depict the royal image as if emerging from the surface of stone. As in many instances, the royal bust wears a down hanging snake, not the upraised uraeus cobra, suggesting a personification of some sort is depicted.
