介绍（中）	这个头像曾经属于一个身份不明的女神的雕像。这种性别是由没有胡子暗示的，而简单的发型则表明了这个主题的神圣地位：在这件作品被雕刻时，凡人女性戴着精心卷曲的假发。完整的雕像代表了坐着或站着的女神，无论是单独的，还是作为两个或两个以上神的一部分，可能还有国王这座雕塑是由石英岩雕刻而成的，多年来，埃及艺术家用石英岩创作了他们最敏感的人和神的形象。博物馆在这块石头上拥有几件杰作，最著名的是Senwosret III（26.7.1394）、Amenhotep III（56.138）和他的主要妻子Queen Tiye（11.150.26。从风格上讲，这件作品代表了后阿玛纳艺术的后期阶段。虽然早期的后阿玛纳时代的头像有点忧郁甜美，例如图坦卡蒙（50.6）的头像，但这座雕塑表达了温和的宁静，传达了古埃及的信仰，即众神与凡人的关系是至高无上的。
介绍（英）	This head once belonged to the statue of an unidentified female deity. The gender is suggested by the lack of a beard, and the simple hairstyle points to the divine status of the subject: mortal women wore elaborately curled wigs at the time this piece was carved. The complete statue represented the goddess seated or standing, either alone or as part of a group of two or more deities and possibly the king. The sculpture was carved from quartzite, a material in which, through the ages, Egyptian artists created their most sensitive portrayals of humans and gods. The Museum owns several masterpieces in this stone, most notably heads of Senwosret III (26.7.1394), Amenhotep III (56.138) and his principal wife, Queen Tiye (11.150.26). This head joins the group with the distinction of being impeccably preserved, as even the delicately aquiline nose is complete. Stylistically, the piece represnts the later—Ramesside—stage of post-Amarna art at its very best. While a somewhat melancholy sweetness characterizes earlier post-Amarna heads, such as, for instance, those of Tutankhamen (50.6), this sculpture expresses benign serenity, communicating the ancient Egyptian belief that the gods are supremely aloof from mortal concerns.
