介绍（中）	这个石灰石块来自一个纪念性的寺庙场景，代表国王和王后向阿滕献祭。这张通常被确认为阿肯那顿的脸实际上描绘了一位阿玛纳女王，可能是奈弗提蒂，跟随她的丈夫。国王的肩膀就在街区的左侧。奈费提蒂戴着皇家的"afnet"头巾，额头上有一条乌雷乌斯眼镜蛇。阿滕的两只手在她的鼻子和嘴巴上绑着脚链。第三道光线末端的手向上转动，触摸女王额头上的神圣眼镜蛇。这种手部位置的反转是不同寻常的，但并非史无前例，并为构图增添了艺术张力的元素浮雕以克制的风格雕刻，大约在阿赫那顿统治的第八年开始使用，当时首都迁至Tell el Amarna（阿赫塔顿）后不久。造型精致，巧妙地强调了下颚、脸颊和眉毛的骨骼，这表明这张脸是由一位大师雕刻的。
介绍（英）	This limestone block is from a monumental temple scene representing the king and queen makinig an offering to Aten. The face, usually identified as Akhenaten, actully depicts an Amarna queen, probably Nefertiti, following her husband. The king's shoulder is just visible at the left side of the block. Nefertiti wears the royal "afnet" headcloth with a uraeus cobra at the forehead. Two of Aten's hands hold an ankh to her nose and mouth. The hand at the end of a third ray is turned upward to touch the divine cobra on the queen's forehead. This reversal of the hand position is unusual but not unprecedented, and adds an element of artistic tension to the composition. The relief has been carved in the restrained style that came into use in about the eights year of Akhenaten's reign, shortly after the capital was moved to Tell el-Amarna (Akhetaten). The delicacy of the modeling, which subtly emphasizes the bones of the lower jaw, cheek, and brow, suggests that the face was carved by a master craftsman.
