介绍（中）	在古埃及，神通常被描绘成一个人体和一个动物的头。不太常见的情况是，人的头附着在动物的身体上，在这种情况下是眼镜蛇。这条蛇在一个低底座上饲养；它的重量放在身体的第一个底部和尾巴的尖端，尾巴的尖端稍微突出到底座的后面。它的身体只弯曲了两次，所以眼镜蛇会高高地向后仰。在这条蛇宽大的风帽中央有一列垂直的腹板。风帽的上部有一个纵横交错的图案，三个对角的腹面鳞片构成了立柱的下部。从帽子里冒出来的是一个人头，戴着一顶用缎带绑着的三边长假发。耳朵在与脸相接的地方很窄，然后变宽，这是牛耳朵的典型特征。头顶上的sistrum（一种邪教乐器）的音箱呈一个小神龛的形状，由向内弯曲的蜗壳框起来。后脑勺后面是一个用来悬挂的穿孔环。关于这里所代表的神的身份，请参阅下面的策展解释。
介绍（英）	In Ancient Egypt, deities are often depicted with a human body and an animal head. Less frequently, a human head was attached to the body of an animal, in this case a cobra. The snake is shown rearing on a low base; its weight is placed on the first, bottom segment of the body and on the tip of the tail, which protrudes slightly over the back of the base. Its body is only bent twice, so that the cobra rears up high. In the center of the snake’s wide hood is a vertical column of ventral plates. A crisscross pattern marks the upper part of the hood, with three diagonal ventral scales framing the lower part of the vertical column. Emerging from the hood is a human head wearing a long, tripartite wig bound with ribbons. The ears are very narrow where they meet the face and then widen, as is typical for cow’s ears. The sound box of a sistrum (a cultic musical instrument) on top of the head takes the shape of a small shrine framed by inward curving volutes. Behind the back of the head is a pierced loop for suspension. For an identification of the deity represented here, please see the curatorial interpretation below.
