介绍（中）	这个"桨娃娃"是在充满墓室庭院的碎片中发现的，还有四个类似的人物和其他材料，包括陪葬锥和小雕像碎片。（可以从此集合中查看此处）该人物有一个独特的钥匙孔形躯干，没有腿，有一个基本的头部和右臂;左臂不见了。右臂上装饰着三个彩绘手镯，胸前画着，脖子上露出宽大的项圈。带有几何图案的衣服覆盖在大耻骨三角形上方的下半身。这个人物的"头发"是从碎片中发现的松散的珠子上重新串起来的。桨娃娃在中国很受欢迎，特别是在第11和第12王朝（约公元前2030-1802年）。大多数桨娃娃 - 包括这个和博物馆收藏的其他 - 来自底班墓地的一个地区，围绕着Mentuhotep II和Hatshepsut的太平间寺庙。只有少数桨娃娃的例子来自其他网站。 "桨娃娃"是这类女性形象的埃及学名称。它们不是玩具，而是被认为是仪式中使用的物品。她们的身体形状呼应了menat 项链的对位——与哈索尔女神相关的仪式中使用的打击乐器。当摇晃时，menat的珠子会产生舒缓的声音，旨在召唤或安抚神灵。附在桨娃上的串珠头发进一步加深了它们与menats的相似之处，但目前尚不清楚它们是否真的被用作乐器。也有人认为桨娃娃是女性可汗舞者的代表，她们援引哈索尔并通过性唤起的表演复活国王。桨娃娃可能被包括在葬礼组合中，以扮演可汗舞者的角色并帮助死者的重生。
介绍（英）	This “paddle doll” was found in the debris filling a tomb courtyard along with four similar figures and additional material including funerary cones and statuette fragments. (Material from this assemblage can be viewed here.) The figure has a distinctive keyhole-shaped torso, no legs, and a rudimentary head and right arm; the left arm is missing. Three painted bracelets adorn the right arm, nipples are painted on the chest, and a broad collar is shown around the neck. A garment with geometric patterning covers the lower part of the body above a large pubic triangle. The figure’s “hair” was restrung from beads found loose in the debris with the assemblage.   Paddle dolls were popular in the Middle Kingdom, especially during Dynasties 11 and 12 (ca. 2030–1802 B.C.). Most paddle dolls – including this one and others in the Museum's collection – come from an area in the Theban necropolis around the mortuary temples of Mentuhotep II and Hatshepsut. Only a few examples of paddle dolls come from other sites. “Paddle doll” is the Egyptological name for this type of female figure. They were not toys but instead are believed to have been objects used in ritual settings. The shape of their bodies echoes the counterpoises of menat necklaces – percussive instruments used in ceremonies associated with the goddess Hathor. When shaken, the beads of the menat would produce a soothing noise meant to summon or placate the deity. The beaded hair attached to paddle dolls furthers their resemblance to menats, however it is unclear whether they were actually used as instruments. It has also been suggested that paddle dolls were representations of female khener dancers, who invoked Hathor and revived the king through sexually arousing performances. Paddle dolls might have been included in funerary assemblages to take the part of khener dancers and aid in the rebirth of the deceased.
