介绍（中）	这个小吊坠的含义并不完全清楚，甚至图像也很难阅读，因为物体的大小和空心金片的破碎。它似乎展示了两种带冠头的器皿状形状，这种形状与奥西里斯·卡诺普斯有关，他在沿海城市卡诺普斯以带有人头的罐子的形式受到崇拜。奥西里斯·卡诺普斯的罐子可能象征着尼罗河水带来的丰富，也可能是从圣物箱中掠夺来的。公元1世纪，亚历山大的硬币上出现了神的形象，并于公元2世纪在埃及及其他地区蓬勃发展。事实上，罗马皇帝哈德良曾参观并欣赏过卡诺普斯，并在罗马附近的蒂沃利庄园复制了这座城市的各个方面，包括奥西里斯·卡诺皮斯的形象两个这样的罐子在硬币和其他地方的表现是已知的，但在那里，它们的属性可以比看起来或在这个小吊坠上更清楚地区分。学者们不同意这对代表奥西里斯-卡诺普斯的两种形式，或者更确切地说，代表奥西里斯·卡诺普斯和伊西斯-卡诺普斯，但这里采用了后一种观点。
介绍（英）	The meaning of this small pendant is not entirely clear, and even the images are difficult to read because of the size of the object and the crushing of the hollow sheet gold. It seems to show two vessel-like forms with crowned heads, a form that relates to Osiris-Canopus, who was worshipped in the form of a jar with a human head in the coastal city of Canopus. The jar of Osiris-Canopus may signify the abundance brought by Nile water or may have been dervied from a reliquary form. Imagery of the god appears on Alexandrian coins in the 1st century AD and thrived in the 2nd century AD in Egypt and beyond. Indeed the Roman emperor Hadrian had visited and enjoyed Canopus and replicated aspects of the city, including an image of Osiris-Canopis, at his estate Tivoli near Rome. Representations of two such jars together are known on coins and elsewhere, but there their attributes can be more clearly differentiated than they seem to be or than was possible on this small pendant. Scholars do not agree whether the pairs represent two forms of Osiris Canopus or, rather, Osiris Canopus with an Isis Canopus, but the latter view has been adopted here.
