介绍（中）	眼镜蛇代表女神Wadjet，一位与皇室有关的非常古老的女神。当蛇戴在国王的额头上时，它的头抬起，兜帽扩大，准备在需要时攻击，它被称为乌拉乌斯。乌拉乌斯是皇室的完美象征。随着时间的流逝，皇室女性和某些神也佩戴它。这种乌拉乌斯由锤打的金和琥珀金片和条带组装而成;蛇的头部和兜帽形成一个组件，插入形成第二个的线圈和尾巴中。现在缺少第一个组件的单独头部元素和镶嵌。乌拉乌斯兜帽可能最初镶嵌在红色、绿松石色和深蓝色。埃及蓝色的痕迹表明，某些镶嵌物可能使用了材料。尾巴的长而浅的曲线似乎适合葬礼面具，但乌拉乌斯已经变形并恢复了，所以形状不是原始的。据说在收购时，乌拉乌斯来自塔尼斯，塔尼斯是第22王朝第三中间时期国王的首都和墓地。这似乎可能有多种原因，但无法证实。相关的皇家陵墓是在第二次世界大战之前出土的，但没有一个发掘记录记录这件作品。
介绍（英）	The cobra represents the goddess Wadjet, a very ancient goddess who is associated with royalty. When the snake is worn over the king's brow, its head raised and hood dilated ready to attack if needed, it is called a uraeus. The uraeus constitutes the consummate symbol of royalty. As time passes it is also worn by royal women and certain gods. This uraeus is assembled from hammered gold and electrum sheets and strips; the snake's head and hood form one component, which was inserted into the coils and tail that form a second. The separate head element and inlays of the first component are now missing.The uraeus hood was probably originally inlaid in colors of red, turquoise, and dark blue. Traces of Egyptian blue suggest that material may have been used for some of the inlays. The long shallow curve of the tail would seem to suit a funerary mask, but the uraeus had been deformed and was restored, so the shape is not original. The uraeus was said at the time of acquisition to be from Tanis, capital and burial site of the Third Intermediate Period kings of Dynasty 22. This seems likely for a number of reasons, but cannot be confirmed. The relevant royal tombs were excavated just prior to World War II, but none of the excavation records document this piece.
