介绍（中）	石榴直到新王国成立才到达埃及，当时它可能是在第十八王朝早期的军事战役中从西亚带回的。虽然这种水果最初可能只是进口的，但石榴树很快就被种植在埃及的花园里水果的特性是优雅、风格化的带扇形边缘的容器形状的出发点。自然界中的石榴可以从绿色到黄色再到红色，所以选择这些容器并非不切实际。这种果汁被视为一种饮料，经常被添加到葡萄酒中，但它也可以用作收缩组织和减少伤口肿胀的收敛剂较大的罐子（26.7.1180）可能装着果汁作为饮料食用。较小的绿色罐子（44.4.52）描绘了未成熟状态下的水果，此时果汁太酸，无法饮用，可能含有药用果汁。
介绍（英）	The pomegranate did not arrive in Egypt until the beginning of the New Kingdom, when it was probably brought back from western Asia during the military campaigns of the early Eighteenth Dynasty. While the fruit may initially have been available only as an import, pomegranate trees were soon planted in Egyptian gardens. The attributes of the fruit served as the point of departure for an elegant, stylized vessel shape with a scalloped rim. Pomegranates in nature can range from green to yellow to red, so the choices for these vessels are not unrealistic. The juice was prized as a drink and often added to wine, but it can also be used as an astringent to shrink tissues and reduce swelling in wounds. The larger jar (26.7.1180) probably held juice for consumption as a drink. The smaller, green jar (44.4.52) depicts the fruit in its unripe state, when the juice is too sour to drink, and may have held juice intended for medicinal purposes.
