介绍（中）	Amathus石棺可以说是切斯诺拉收藏中最重要的物品，在古代塞浦路斯雕塑中具有独特的纪念性和多色性。长边的主要场景显示了战车游行，由骑马的侍从护送，后面跟着步兵。主要人物可能是司机，他站在第一辆战车的遮阳伞下。他的马，和其他马一样，是丰富的卡帕里斯;他的战车也与其他战车相似，只是车轮的辐条较少。短端的装饰包括一排阿斯塔特人物，除了双项链和耳罩外裸体，以及一排贝斯人物。选择这两个神，一个是近东的，另一个是埃及的，这表明生育对死者的重要性。雕像面板由各种植物装饰品构成，而山墙盖曾经在两端有一对狮身人面像和棕榈树。石棺可能属于阿马苏斯的一位国王。游行场景让我们得以一瞥他的世界。此外，整个图像记录了公元前五世纪中叶希腊、塞浦路斯和东方特征在高质量作品中的彻底融合。
介绍（英）	The Amathus sarcophagus is arguably the single most important object in the Cesnola Collection and unique among ancient Cypriot sculptures in its monumentality and in the preservation of its polychromy. The primary scenes on the long sides show a procession of chariots escorted by attendants on horseback and followed by foot soldiers. The main personage is probably the driver, who is standing under a parasol in the first chariot. His horses, as the others, are richly caparisoned; his chariot resembles the others also, except that the wheel has fewer spokes. The decoration of the short ends consists of a row of Astarte figures, nude except for their double necklaces and ear caps, and a row of Bes figures. The choice of these two deities, one Near Eastern, the other Egyptian, suggests the importance of procreation to the deceased. The figural panels are framed by a variety of vegetal ornaments, while the gabled lid once featured a pair of sphinxes and a palmette at each end. The sarcophagus probably belonged to one of the kings of Amathus. The procession scenes provide a glimpse into his world. The iconography as a whole, moreover, documents the thorough integration of Greek, Cypriot, and Oriental features in works of high quality at the middle fifth century B.C.
