介绍（中）	据说，这三件文物是在法尤姆地区首府阿尔西诺发现的众多文物的一部分这些面具太小太脆，不能作为真正的剧院面具。他们指的是神狄奥尼索斯，剧院的赞助人和重生之神；在埃及，他被等同于奥西里斯。在希腊的墓葬和避难所，在意大利的避难所和花园装饰中都可以找到兵马俑面具。在埃及，人们只从埋葬中知道它们，作为对奥西里斯/狄奥尼索斯的供奉。埃及中部安蒂诺波利斯的陶制面具可能起源于坟墓，在哈瓦拉的一座罗马时期的小教堂里发现了一个陶制剧院面具第二个视图中迷人的公羊，它的枪口几乎可以抓握，从莲花形的食槽中进食。传统的埃及神阿蒙（Amun）或克努姆（Khnum）被认为是长角公羊，但此时其他几种神也被认为是。在陶俑雕像和硬币上，可以看到Harpokrates骑着公羊或坐在莲花上，后者象征着重生。也许这篇文章暗示了哈波克拉特斯，他是罗马时代非常受欢迎的多产和重生之神。
介绍（英）	These three pieces are said to have been part of a find of numerous faience objects at Arsinoe, capital of the Fayum region. The masks are too small and brittle to have served as actual theater masks. They refer to the god Dionysus, patron of the theater and god of rebirth; in Egypt he was equated with Osiris. Terracotta theater masks are found in burials and sanctuaries in Greece, in sanctuaries and as garden decorations in Italy. In Egypt, they are known only from burials, as offerings to Osiris/Dionysus. Terracotta masks from Antinoopolis in Middle Egypt probably originate in tombs, and a terracotta theater mask was found in a Roman Period chapel over a burial at Hawara. The charming ram in the second view, with its almost prehensile muzzle, feeds from a lotus-form trough. The traditional Egyptian gods Amun or Khnum were identified with curly-horned rams, but by this time several other divinities were as well. In terracotta statuettes and on coins Harpokrates can be seen riding a ram or sitting upon a lotus flower, the latter symbolic of rebirth. Perhaps this faience composition alludes to Harpokrates, who was an immensely popular god of fecundity and rebirth during the Roman era.
