介绍（中）	犬神Wepwawet站在雪橇的上部，脚下有眼镜蛇。他细心而警觉，竖起耳朵。雪橇可能是标准的上部，因为铜合金中的大多数Wepwawet表示都是标准（如86.1.70）。这个数字似乎不太可能是一个实际的标准，因为它太小而不容易看到。相反，它可能是一个独立的产品，或者在另一个未知的环境中使用。脖子后面的悬挂环设置在Wepwawet的衣领后面，表明这个人物可能是为了展示或佩戴而悬挂的，而不是像全尺寸标准一样被携带或竖立。然而，悬挂环的存在并不总是一件作品如何展示的直接指标（例如，参见Osiris X.352.4及其多个环和唐），因此，如果没有来自考古遗址的更多背景证据，这些类型的作品的展示和功能仍然模棱两可。 Wepwawet被称为"道路的开启者"，在寺庙浮雕和石碑上，这种标准经常在游行和节日中携带。该神主要与奥西里斯及其在这一时期的邪教活动有关。奥西里斯在晚期和托勒密时期作为奉献精神非常受欢迎，而铜合金中Wepwawet标准的频繁表现可能与这种受欢迎程度有关。
介绍（英）	The canine deity Wepwawet stands on the upper portion of a sledge with cobras at his feet. He is attentive and alert with his ears pricked up. The sledge was probably the upper part of a standard, as most Wepwawet representations in copper alloy are standards (like 86.1.70). It seems unlikely that this figure was an actual standard, as it would have been too small to be easily visible. Instead it may have been a standalone offering or been used in another as yet unknown setting. A suspension loop at the back of the neck, set behind Wepwawet’s collar, shows that the figure may have been hung for display or worn, instead of being carried or erected like a full-size standard. The presence of suspension loops, however, is not always a straightforward indicator for how a piece may have been displayed (see, for example, Osiris X.352.4 with its multiple loops and tang), and thus the display and function of these types of pieces is still ambiguous without more contextual evidence from archaeological sites. Wepwawet was known as the "Opener of the Ways" and on temple reliefs and stelae, such standards were frequently carried in processions and festivals. The god was chiefly associated with Osiris and his cult practices in this period. Osiris was overwhelmingly popular as a dedication in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods and the frequent representation of Wepwawet standards in copper alloy may be linked to that popularity.
