介绍（中）	装饰勺子在新王国的宫廷圈子里特别受欢迎。在它们的形式和装饰上，人们引用了重生和更新的主题和神话，尽管人们对它们的实际用途知之甚少这把象牙勺，其对称性因形状和线条的精细交互而增强，可追溯到十九王朝。圆盘状的勺子碗代表了赋予生命的太阳。手柄装饰主要由一个压缩版的西斯特姆神殿组成，这是一个拨浪鼓，是伟大的果实女神哈索的象征。在sistrum Hathor的头饰上，有一个小蜗壳框架的神龛，神龛有一个镂空的门洞，里面串起了嘎嘎作响的元素。在这里，神龛被缩小为一个有框的切口，两侧仍然是涡卷，在她三角形的脸和牛耳朵的上方整体构图是一种小小的视觉自负。最简单的是，这是对镜子象征性意象的重新诠释，太阳和海瑟也在其中。但在这里，太阳圆盘可能实际上被吸收到了西斯特姆的打击乐外壳中，或者它甚至可以被认为是出现在西斯特姆神殿门口的神祗。
介绍（英）	Decorated spoons were especially popular in the courtly circles of the New Kingdom. In their forms and ornament, allusions were made to themes and myths of rebirth and renewal, though their actual use is poorly understood. This ivory spoon, its symmetry enhanced by a fine interplay of shapes and lines, is datable to the nineteenth dynasty. The discoid bowl of the spoon represents the life-giving sun. The handle decoration consists mainly of a compressed version of the shrine sistrum, a rattle that is the emblem of Hathor, the great goddess of fruitfulness. In the sistrum Hathor wears as headgear a small volute-framed shrine with a cutout doorway where the rattling elements were strung. Here the shrine is reduced to a framed cutout, still flanked by volutes, above her triangular face and cow's ears. The overall composition is a small visual conceit. Most simply it is a reinterpretation of the symbolic imagery of mirrors, in which the sun and Hathor are also associated. But here the sun-disk is perhaps actually being assimilated to the percussion housing of the sistrum or it may even be thought of as a divinity appearing in the doorway of the shrine sistrum.
