介绍（中）	这个小吊坠可能打算作为护身符戴在脖子上。伊朗、美索不达米亚、黎凡特和埃及幸存下来的带有环状的小金像，证明了此类物品的广泛使用。赫梯文化中的类似物品表明，这些小人物是赫梯诸神的便携式代表。这里显示的人物是使用失蜡工艺用黄金铸造的，是一个坐着的女神，穿着长礼服，椭圆形的大眼睛和一张薄嘴，两侧有折痕。她戴着简单的环形耳环和项链。她的圆盘状头饰可能代表太阳，这将导致得出这样的结论：这可能是太阳女神Arinna，赫梯的主要神灵。悬架环从头饰的背面伸出。女神抱着一个赤裸的孩子，用纯金单独铸造，然后连接起来。他们坐的椅子是无靠背的，有狮子爪。
介绍（英）	This tiny pendant was probably intended to be worn round the neck as an amulet. Small gold figures with loops survive from Iran, Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Egypt, attesting to the widespread use of such objects. Similar objects from Hittite culture suggest that these small figures were portable representations of Hittite gods. The figure shown here, cast in gold using the lost-wax process, is of a seated goddess in a long gown, with large oval eyes and a thin mouth with creases at the sides. She is wearing simple, looped earrings and a necklace. Her disk-like headdress probably represents the sun, which would lead to the conclusion that this may be the sun goddess, Arinna, a major Hittite divinity. A loop for suspension protrudes from the back of the headdress. On her lap the goddess holds a naked child, cast separately of solid gold and then attached. The chair on which they are seated is backless and has lion paws.
