介绍（中）	这件menat的上部描绘了一个精致的光神殿，里面镶嵌着一位女神。两个由哈托尔徽章柱头组成的小柱子支撑着屋顶，上面是一朵开放的莲花和纸莎草捆半柱。它的飞檐上装饰着一个带翅膀的太阳圆盘，在正面的哈托尔徽章和两只坐着的猫的上方可以看到。神龛下的女神被贴上了"神的母亲"的标签，并被描述为"居住在Sedjem（。在梅纳特的圆形地带，可以看到猎鹰荷鲁斯在沼泽地的一丛纸莎草中，为了安全起见，他被母亲伊西斯（Isis），有时还有哈托尔（Hathor）藏在那里这是一个复合物品的一部分，其中包括一个巨大的神盾——衣领上方的神的头——固定在前面。这种形式是由附在上面的女神头像发展而来的。当后一种握在侧面的手中时，神圣的脸和项圈，本质上是一个神盾，被指向地面——这是一种不可取的效果。复合神盾门使神的头与门成直角。
介绍（英）	The upper part of this menat depicts an elaborate light shrine with a goddess inside in precious metal inlay. Two small columns formed from Hathor emblem capitals above an open lotus and papyrus-bundle half-column support the roof. Its cornice is emblazoned with a winged sun-disk, and above a frontal Hathor emblem and two seated cats may be seen. The goddess beneath the shrine is labeled "the god's mother" and described as "residing in Sedjem(?)." Her sistrum-box crown, unusually here with plant decoration, indicates she is Nebethetepet, associated with Hathor and a kind of personification of the original creative act performed by the god Atum. On the roundel of the menat the falcon Horus may be seen among in a clump of papyrus in the marshes where he was hidden by his mother, Isis and sometimes Hathor, for safety. This menat was part of a compound item that included a large aegis – a god’s head above a collar – affixed to the front. This form developed from menats with attached goddess heads. When the latter type was held in the hand at the side, the divine face and collar, essentially an aegis, was directed toward the ground – an undesirable effect. The compound aegis-menat instead sets the divine head at right angles to the menat.
