介绍（中）	这尊雕像属于一组雕刻象牙，主要是家具元素，可能是在安纳托利亚中部Acemhöyük的一座宫殿遗址发现的。大多数象牙都描绘了从埃及来源借来和转化的图像，比如这块牌匾所代表的狮身人面像，这是一种神奇的生物，将人头和狮子的身体结合在一起，无论有没有翅膀。尽管这块牌匾的底部被折断了，但这种生物的部分后腿和尾巴仍然保存着。狮身人面像的发型是卷曲的长发，类似于埃及女神哈托尔的发型。她在额头上戴了一个圆角，上面还有三个短卷发。一把锁藏在一只大耳朵后面。眼睛被挖空以接受镶嵌（现在不见了），鼻子突出，嘴巴和下巴很小。整体灰色表明该物体暴露在相当大的热量下，可能是在宫殿被毁期间。大都会博物馆也收藏了一块几乎相同的牌匾，上面描绘了一尊面朝左的狮身人面像（36.152.2）。
介绍（英）	This figure belongs to a group of carved ivories, mostly furniture elements, probably found at the site of a palace at Acemhöyük in central Anatolia. Most of the ivories depict imagery borrowed and transformed from Egyptian sources, such as the sphinx represented by this plaque, a fantastic creature that combines a human head with a lion’s body, with or without wings. Although the bottom of the plaque is broken away, parts of the creature’s leonine hind leg and tail are still preserved. The sphinx has a hairstyle of long, curled locks similar to that worn by the Egyptian goddess Hathor. She wears a fillet across the forehead, above which three additional short curls rise. One lock is tucked behind a large ear. The eye, hollowed out to receive an inlay (now missing), and nose are prominent, and the mouth and chin are small. The overall gray color indicates that the object was exposed to considerable heat, perhaps during the destruction of the palace. A nearly identical plaque from the same group, depicting a sphinx facing left, is also in the Metropolitan Museum’s collection (36.152.2).
