介绍（中）	伊姆霍特普是第三王朝乔瑟国王的顾问，他设计了塞加拉的阶梯金字塔，这是埃及最早的金字塔。由于这一成就以及他在智慧和学习方面的其他成就，在后来的时期，他成为历史上唯一被占卜并拥有专门邪教的非王室人士之一，这在梅菲特地区尤为强烈在这尊铜合金雕像中，他坐着，戴着贴身的帽子，膝盖上放着一幅卷轴。这尊雕像上的卷轴上刻着伊姆霍特普的名字，底座上刻着"Ptah儿子的仆人"（伊姆霍特普被认为是Ptah的儿子）。仆人的名字叫帕迪苏，是赫特普普杜的儿子从象征意义上讲，这幅卷轴还强调了他的智慧和博学，以及他作为抄写员赞助人的角色，并暗示了他后来在医学、建筑和工程领域的许多知识尝试。他的服装各不相同，但这次他穿的是短裙和凉鞋。与此同时，他的宝座上有精心制作的细节——两侧有羽毛，背面有sematawy符号，代表上埃及和下埃及的统一。王座是中空铸造的，从下面可以看到混凝土核心材料。
介绍（英）	Imhotep was adviser to King Djoser in the third dynasty and he is credited with the design of the Step Pyramid in Saqqara, the earliest pyramid in Egypt. For this and other achievements of wisdom and learning attributed to him, in later periods he became one of the only historical non-royal people to be divinized and to have a dedicated cult, which was particularly strong in the Memphite region. In copper alloy statuettes like this one, he is shown sitting, wearing his close-fitting cap and holding a scroll on his lap. The scroll on this statue is inscribed with the name of Imhotep, and the base is inscribed for a' "servant of Ptah's son" (Imhotep was considered the son of Ptah). The servant’s name was Padisu, son of Hetepsopdu. In a symbolic sense, the scroll also serves to emphasize his wisdom and erudition, his role as a patron of scribes, and hints at the many intellectual forays into medicine, architecture, and engineering that were later ascribed to him. His attire varies, but in this instance he wears a short kilt and sandals. His throne, meanwhile, bears elaborate detail – feathered on the sides and with the sematawy symbol on the back, representing the union of Upper and Lower Egypt. The throne is hollow cast and concreted core material is visible from the underside.
