介绍（中）	埃及人使用眼部化妆品来增强美感和预防目的，这在艺术表现和最早保存下来的化妆品容器中都有很好的记录。新王国最常用的物质是kohl，一种由方铅矿制成的深灰色粉末。科尔经常被储存在装饰管中，用抛光木头或石头制成的细长棍子作为涂抹器。与早期一样，猴子的形象经常装饰新王国的化妆品容器。在这个例子中，猴子平衡地站在尾巴上，左腿稍微向前，双手紧握着一个科尔管。耳朵、眼睛上方的脊、鼻子和脸颊上的一簇头发都是精心雕刻的。石头上覆盖着厚厚的釉料，颜色从浅到深蓝绿色不等，但石头的纹理仍然可见，给人一种浓郁的绿松石的印象。
介绍（英）	The Egyptians' use of eye cosmetics to enhance beauty and for prophylactic purposes is well documented both in artistic representations and by the cosmetic vessels that have been preserved from the earliest times. The most common substance utilized in the New Kingdom was kohl, a dark gray powder made from galena. Kohl was frequently stored in decorated tubes with long, slim sticks made of polished wood or stone as applicators. As in earlier periods, representations of monkeys often decorated cosmetic vessels in the New Kingdom. In this example the monkey stands balanced on its tail, its left leg slightly forward and its hands clasping a kohl tube. The ears, the ridges above the eyes, the nose, and the tufts of hair on the cheeks were carved with care. The stone was covered with a thick glaze ranging in color from light to dark blue-green, but the grain of the stone is still visible, giving the impression of heavily veined turquoise.
