介绍（中）	这个雪花石膏雕像是一个裸体女人斜倚在她的左侧。她的左臂本来可以支撑她的身体，但现在不见了。右臂沿着她的侧面伸展，指尖轻轻地放在大腿上。女人脖子上的淡带子表示有褶皱；躯干右侧细微的肉褶突出了她身材的丰满曲线。在希腊陶俑中，躺着的人像很常见，美索不达米亚雕塑中这种姿势的出现可能反映了东地中海希腊陶制中心的影响。然而，这种类型的希腊陶俑大多是男性，希腊罗马葬礼浮雕中描绘的斜倚人物也是如此。在美索不达米亚，情况正好相反：无论雕像是由雪花石膏还是赤陶制成的，主题通常是一位女性。虽然目前雕塑对身体和优美姿势的处理无疑暴露了希腊化的影响，但颈部的褶皱、钻脐和性感的造型都是当地既定传统的元素。
介绍（英）	This alabaster figurine is of a nude woman reclining on her left side. Her left arm, which would have supported her body, is missing. The right arm is extended along her side, with the tips of her fingers resting lightly on her thigh. Faint bands at the woman's neck indicate creases; the subtle folds of flesh along the right side of the torso emphasize the full curves of her figure. Reclining figures are common among Greek terracottas, and the appearance of the posture in Mesopotamian sculpture may reflect the influence of Greek terracotta manufacturing centers along the eastern Mediterranean. The majority of Greek terracottas of this type are male, however, as are reclining figures depicted in Greco-Roman funerary reliefs. In Mesopotamia, the opposite is true: whether the figurine is fashioned of alabaster or terracotta, the subject is usually a woman. While the treatment of the body and graceful pose of the present sculpture undeniably betray Hellenistic influence, the creases at the neck, the drilled navel, and the voluptuous form are elements of an established local tradition.
