介绍（中）	这幅重建的几何装饰板中的faience瓷砖是在博物馆对马尔卡塔的挖掘过程中出土的，马尔卡塔是阿蒙霍特普三世为庆祝他的三个复兴节日而建造的节日城市的遗址，或heb seds。这些瓷砖是在一座纪念阿蒙神的寺庙西南角的一个房间的地板上发现的（见上面的挖掘照片）。最初，他们可能装饰在一个木制神龛的侧面或其他一些寺庙家具上，比如一个神圣的酒吧座上的小屋，用来在庆祝活动中承载上帝的形象重建是基于瓷砖的形状，这表明它们是为了填充一系列螺旋线之间的空间。这些螺旋可能是用木头或灰泥雕刻的，上面覆盖着金箔（用金漆修复）。较小的长方形瓷砖构成了装饰的边界。类似的几何图案可以在涂漆的天花板在马尔卡塔的主要礼仪建筑国王宫发现的装饰。挖掘机在与瓷砖相同的区域发现了其他装饰元素，包括一长段洞穴檐口和acartouche包含阿蒙霍特普三世的王座名，Nebmatre。最初被认为是墙壁装饰的一部分，现在似乎更可能是装饰过的寺庙家具的残骸，这些家具是在寺庙不再使用后被拆除以取回黄金的。
介绍（英）	The faience tiles in this reconstructed panel of geometric decoration were unearthed during the Museum's excavations at Malqata, the site of a festival city constructed by Amenhotep III to celebrate his three rejuvination festivals, or heb seds. The tiles were found in stacks on the floor of a room in the southwest corner of a temple built to honor the god Amun (see the excavation photo above). Originally they probably decorated the sides of a wooden shrine or some other piece of temple furniture such as the cabin on a sacred barque that would have been used to carry the god's image in celebrations. The reconstruction is based on the shapes of the tiles which suggest that they were made to fill spaces between series of running spirals. These spirals would probably have been carved in wood or plaster and covered with gold foil (restored here in gold paint). Smaller, rectangular tiles formed the borders of the decoration. A similar geometric pattern may be seen on a section of painted ceiling decoration that was discovered in the King's Palace, the main ceremonial building at Malqata. The excavators found other decorative elements in the same area as the tiles, including a long section of cavetto cornice and a cartouche containing the throne name of Amenhotep III, Nebmaatre. Originally thought to be parts of wall decoration, it now seems more likely that these are the remains of decorated temple furniture that was dismantled to retrieve the gold after the temple was no longer in use.
