介绍（中）	该模型与Franz Anton Bustelli（1723–1763）建模的类似头骨和十字架有关，该头骨和十字架可能与他的十字架基督雕像一起出现，该雕像的一个例子在博物馆的永久收藏中（1977.216.56）。该头骨和交叉骨很可能是由Ignaz Günther（1725–1775）建模的，他为慕尼黑Residenz的Cecilia教堂制作了一个陶瓷十字架，比Bustelli版本稍早这两件物品旨在形成一个组成单位，反映了18世纪中叶瓷器在雕塑生产中日益雄心勃勃和重要的作用。虽然它们只能归因于根特，但头骨和交叉骨几乎可以肯定是由根特或他的雕塑家兼老师Johann Baptist Straub（1704–1784）建模的，他们是18世纪中期在慕尼黑工作的两位最著名的雕塑家。宁芬堡瓷器厂生产的头骨和十字架的幸存例子极为罕见 [Jeffrey H.Munger，2014年]
介绍（英）	This model is related to a similar skull and crossbones modeled by Franz Anton Bustelli (1723–1763) that would have accompanied his figure of the Crucified Christ, an example of which is in the Museum's permanent collection (1977.216.56). It is likely that this skull and crossbones were modeled by Ignaz Günther (1725–1775), who created a porcelain crucifix for the Cecilia Chapel in the Munich Residenz that slightly predates the Bustelli version. These two objects, intended to form one compositional unit, reflect the increasingly ambitious and important role of porcelain in the production of sculpture in the middle decades of the eighteenth century. While they can only be attributed to Günther, the skull and crossbones almost certainly were modeled by either Günther or possibly by his fellow sculptor and teacher Johann Baptist Straub (1704–1784), two of the most prominent sculptors working in Munich in the mid-eighteenth century. Surviving examples of the skull and crossbones produced at the Nymphenburg porcelain factory are extremely rare. [Jeffrey H. Munger, 2014]
