介绍（中）	这款高脚杯由一种浓郁的绿松石制成，呈芳香的蓝莲花形状。它由八块碎片重建而成，原本应该矗立在一根模仿花茎的细长柱子上。（完整的例子见13.182.53。）这种类型的圣杯最早出现在新王国，似乎主要用作祭祀器皿这座圣杯的形状和意象都与创造和复兴的主题紧密相连。当莲花在晚上关闭，在黎明打开迎接冉冉升起的太阳时，它与死亡和重生的日常循环联系在一起。浮雕装饰设置在荷花盛开的沼泽地，与创作的水景观相呼应。主要场景围绕杯子周围重复了三次，展示了一位戴着蓝色王冠和节日项圈的年轻国王坐在宝座上，唤起了国王重生为太阳神孩子的神话。下面，尼罗河神哈皮向国王赠送带有"ankh"标志和"was"权杖的手掌肋骨，象征着多年的生命和权力；两侧是家庭神Bes的形象，他提供"ankh"标志和"wedjat"眼睛（治愈和复兴的象征）。纸莎草沼泽中的鸭子雕带和玫瑰花结装饰着边缘。下面是罗非鱼和奶牛吮吸幼崽的交替图像，这两个图像都是重生的有力象征。
介绍（英）	Made of faience glazed a rich turquoise, this goblet takes the shape of the fragrant blue lotus. Reconstructed from eight fragments, it would originally have stood on a slender column imitating the flower's stalk. (For a complete example, see 13.182.53.) This type of chalice, which is seen first in the New Kingdom, appears to have been used primarily as a cult vessel. Both the shape and the imagery of this chalice are closely linked with the themes of creation and rejuvenation. As the lotus blossom closes at night and opens at dawn to greet the rising sun, it became associated with the daily cycle of death and rebirth. The relief decoration is set in the marshes where the lotus bloomed, echoing the watery landscape of creation. The principal scene, repeated three times around the cup's circumference, shows a youthful king in the blue crown and festal collar seated on a throne, evoking myths of the king reborn as a child of the sun god. Below, the Nile god, Hapy, presents the king with palm ribs with "ankh" signs and "was" scepters, symbolizing many years of life and power; to either side are figures of Bes, a household deity, who offers "ankh" signs and "wedjat" eyes (emblems of healing and rejuvenation). A frieze of ducks in a papyrus marsh and a band of rosettes adorn the rim. Below are alternating images of tilapia fish and a cow suckling her calf, both potent icons of rebirth.
