介绍（中）	伊姆霍特普是第三王朝初期（约公元前2650-2600年）监督埃及第一座纪念碑式石金字塔建设的官员。这一成就的重要性给埃及人留下了深刻印象，伊姆霍特普在后来的埃及历史上被人们铭记和尊重。从新王国开始，他被称为写作和智慧的赞助人，当这尊雕像被制作出来时，他已经获得了完全的神圣地位，拥有自己的神话和崇拜。伊姆霍特普也因其在疾病和不孕方面的调解而被援引，后来希腊人将他等同于他们自己的医学之神阿斯克莱皮奥斯 Imhotep几乎总是被描绘成留着短发或戴着帽子，坐着拿着一幅打开的纸莎草卷轴。在这个例子中，镶嵌精美的神像是与他精心制作的椅子和底座分开制作的。这把椅子很高，有一个圆形的靠背，座椅周围有一个精致的洞穴状造型，座椅下面的腿由带有垂直切口的面板连接。
介绍（英）	Imhotep was the official who oversaw construction of Egypt's first monumental stone pyramid, at the beginning of the Third Dynasty (ca. 2650-2600 B.C.). The significance of this accomplishment made such an impression on the Egyptians that Imhotep was remembered and honored in later Egyptian history. Beginning in the New Kingdom he was invoked as the patron of writing and wisdom, and by the time this statue was made he had achieved fully divine status, with his own mythology and cult. Imhotep was also invoked for his intercession in sickness and infertility, and he was later equated by the Greeks with their own god of medicine, Asklepios. Imhotep is almost always depicted with short-cropped hair or a cap, seated and holding an open papyrus scroll. In this example the finely inlaid figure of the god is made separately from his elaborate chair and base. The chair is tall with a rounded back, its seat surrounded by an elaborate cavetto-like molding, and the legs below the seat joined by panels with vertical cutouts.
