介绍（中）	神的优雅特征是以法老阿蒙霍特普三世统治时期的风格雕刻的（见56.138）。在他巨大的拳头中，神手持一根象征统治的权杖，而在他缺失的右手中，他将手持象征生命的ankh象形文字虽然这尊雕像的特征或铭文已经不见了，但几乎可以肯定，这尊雕像是阿蒙霍特普三世在底比斯西部巨大的太平间中建造的一系列神圣雕像之一。这些代表了埃及众神参加国王30年庆典的集会。这座寺庙的遗址是由梅农巨像确定的，这是两座代表国王的不朽坐像，矗立在寺庙的入口塔门前阿蒙霍特普三世庆祝了三个赫布塞斯王朝，并为此在马尔卡塔遗址建造了一座宫殿城，马尔卡塔位于他的太平间以南约一英里处。该遗址由博物馆的埃及探险队在20世纪初发掘，119和121号画廊展出了这些发掘的物品。
介绍（英）	The god's elegant features are carved in a style belonging to the reign of the pharaoh Amenhotep III (see 56.138). In his massive fist the god holds a was-scepter, signifying dominion, and in his missing right hand he would have held the ankh hieroglyph, meaning life. Though attributes or an inscription that would identify this god are missing, the statue was almost certainly one of the series of divine statues erected by Amenhotep III in his vast mortuary temple in western Thebes. These represented the congregation of the Egyptian gods in attendance at the king's 30 year festival, or heb-sed. The site of this temple is identified by the colossi of Memnon, two monumental seated statues representing the king which stood in front of the entrance pylon of the temple. Amenhotep III celebrated three Heb-sed’s and constructed a palace city for this purpose at the site of Malqata, a mile or so south of his mortuary temple. This site was excavated by the Museum’s Egyptian Expedition in the early twentieth century, and objects from these excavations are on view in galleries 119 and 121.
