介绍（中）	带有女王肖像的托勒密时期的oinochoai（酒壶）是与皇家崇拜有关的饮酒器皿，很可能与为纪念阿尔西诺二世而设立的阿尔西诺节有关。在完整的例子中，女王的形象在祭坛上倾倒圣物，身后立着一根神圣的柱子，这一场景表明冥界的神是被称呼的，可能是陪葬神。仪式中对习俗的使用和风格特征表明了埃及传统文化对该类型的影响保存了许多此类船只的碎片，其中许多来自亚历山大港，一些来自埃及和地中海周围的其他一些遗址。它们可能是为了在节日期间使用而分发或购买的，也可能获得了其他用途，包括殡葬协会，因为在墓地中发现了许多例子这一类型似乎从公元前3世纪上半叶的阿尔西诺二世一直延续到公元前2世纪中后期。在这片浅蓝色的碎片上，头发和眉毛上保留着深色釉上花纹的痕迹，其特征和图像学表明女王是贝雷尼克二世（公元前246年至221年）。
介绍（英）	Ptolemaic oinochoai (wine-jugs) with portraits of the queens were libation vessels associated with the royal cult, most likely with the Arsinoeia, the festival established in honor of Arsinoe II. On complete examples, the figure of the queen pours a libation at a sacrificial altar with a sacred pillar standing behind her, a scene which suggests that underworld gods are addressed, possibly funerary gods. The ritual use of faience and stylistic features are indicators of the influence of traditional Egyptian culture on the type. A good many fragments of such vessels are preserved, many from Alexandria, some from a few other sites in Egypt and from around the Mediterranean. They might have been distributed or purchased for use at the festival, and may well have acquired other uses, including a funerary association, since a number of examples were found in cemeteries. The type seems to extend from Arsinoe II in the first half of the 3rd century B.C. until the mid to late 2nd century B.C. On this pale blue fragment, which retains traces of dark overglaze on the hair and brows, the features and iconography identify the queen as Berenike II (246-221 B.C.).
