介绍（中）	在博物馆在底比斯墓（TT）252号附近挖掘时发现了几个天篷罐的碎片，包括一个零碎的人头盖，这是一个名叫Senimen的人的坟墓。塞尼门是图特摩斯二世统治时期的高级官员，哈特谢普苏特和图特摩斯三世联合统治期间，塞尼门是奈菲鲁尔公主、图特摩斯二世和哈特谢普苏特女儿的管家和家庭教师。古埃及天篷罐的目的是在木乃伊制作过程中固定和保护从死者体内取出的内脏。传统上，它们以四件一组出现，因为肝脏，肺，胃和肠都经过防腐处理并单独储存。这四个容器通常放在一个箱子里，放在墓室里。三个碎片可以连接在一起，以恢复一个罐子的正面，罐子上刻有铭文，祈求荷鲁斯四子之一的伊姆塞蒂神。虽然Senimen的名字没有保存在这些碎片上，但它的来源和另外两个带有他名字的碎片罐（35.3.333b.1-.2和 35.3.333c）在比例，形状和材料方面都表明它也属于他的天篷套装。在女神伊希斯的保护下（这里也缺少提到她名字的片段），伊姆塞蒂的任务是守护塞尼门的肝脏，肝脏可能就储存在这个罐子里。
介绍（英）	Fragments of several canopic jars, including a fragmentary human-headed lid, were uncovered during the Museum's excavations in the vicinity of Theban tomb (TT) no. 252, the tomb of a man named Senimen. A high official during the reign of Thutmose II and the joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, Senimen was the steward and tutor of Princess Neferure, Thutmose II and Hatshepsut’s daughter. The purpose of canopic jars in ancient Egypt was to hold and protect the viscera removed from the deceased’s body during the mummification process. They traditionally came in sets of four, as the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines were embalmed and stored individually. The four containers were usually put inside a chest and placed in the tomb chamber. Three fragments could be joined together to restore the front of a jar bearing an inscription that invokes the deity Imsety, one of the four Sons of Horus. Although Senimen’s name was not preserved on these fragments, its provenance and two other fragmentary jars bearing his name (35.3.333b.1-.2 and 35.3.333c) that match these in terms of proportions, shape and material suggest that it also belonged to his canopic set. Under the goddess Isis’ protection (the fragment mentioning her name also missing here), Imsety's task was to guard Senimen’s liver, which was probably stored in this jar.
