介绍（中）	Ostraca（ostracon的复数）是用作书写或绘画表面的碎片。通过扩展，该术语适用于用于类似目的的石灰石碎片。图形介形虫从单一特征的草图到多色绘画作品都各不相同。他们被用来练习绘画、草拟构图和复制场景。然而，一些介形虫是为了更持久的功能而创造的，在宗教实践中用作邪教图像，并存放在坟墓或神殿中，作为接触神的场所。在口头传统中，动物扮演人类的鸵鸟被不同地解释为有趣的笑话、政治讽刺或寓言或神话的插图这幅素描描绘了一个站着的王室人物，穿着贴身的苏格兰方格呢短裙，穿着uraeus和宽领，抱着一个坐着的孩子。这两个人物都剃光头，留着一头侧发，这与年轻和年轻有关。红色墨水的痕迹显示了艺术家是如何绘制初步草图，然后改变孩子头部的位置的。右边的一只手的痕迹显示了一个更大的场景。在底部，用红墨水画出了一个图案。
介绍（英）	Ostraca (plural for ostracon) are potsherds used as surfaces for writing or drawing. By extension, the term is applied to chips of limestone which were employed for similar purposes. Figural ostraca vary from sketches of a single feature to polychrome painted compositions. They were used to practice drawing, draft compositions, and copy scenes. However, some ostraca were created for more durable functions, used as cult images in religious practice and deposited at tombs or shrines as sites of access to the divine. Ostraca on which animals appear acting as humans have been variously interpreted as playful jokes, political satire, or illustrations to fables or myths in the oral tradition. This sketch depicts a standing royal figure wearing a close fitting kilt, uraeus and broad collar, carrying a seated child. Both figures have shaved heads and a side lock of hair, which is associated with youth and young age. Traces of red ink show how the artist did a preliminary sketch and then altered the position of the child’s head. Traces of a hand on the right suggest a larger scene. At the bottom, a pattern was sketched in red ink.
