介绍（中）	这个女人的小雕像是一个古老的机械人物。她的两只胳膊都连接到肩膀之间的轴上;一根绳子缠绕在车轴上，然后穿过她身体和左腿的通道，出现在她脚下的底座下面，所以拉弦使轴转动，手臂上升。这种被称为自动机的人物是众所周知的：博物馆的侏儒形象（34.1.130）是跳舞俾格米人合奏的一部分，通过绳子机制打开底座，象牙狗的嘴巴（40.2.1）通过更简单的杠杆系统打开。这个雕像被认为是有问题的，但最近的一项研究引用了强有力的技术证据来支持它的古老性，从而恢复了它在我们的展示收藏中的位置。该研究还努力在风格上放置小雕像，建议重建其缺失的左臂的姿势，并假设作者认为这是一种身份，可以理解更大的第一千年人物群体。
介绍（英）	This statuette of a woman is an ancient mechanical figure. Both of her arms were attached to an axle that runs between her shoulders; a string was wound around the axle, then ran through a channel in her body and left leg to emerge beneath the base under her feet, so that pulling the string caused the axle to turn and the arms to rise. Such figures, called automata, are known: the museum’s figure of a pygmy (34.1.130) was part of an ensemble of dancing pygmies that turned on a base by a string mechanism, and the mouth of the ivory dog (40.2.1) opens by a simpler lever system. The figurine had been considered problematic, but a recent study has adduced strong technical evidence to support its antiquity, thus restoring it to a place in our displayed collection. The study also endeavored to place the statuette in terms of style, suggested a reconstruction for the pose of its missing left arm, and posited an identity that the author viewed as a clue to understanding a larger group of first millennium figures.
