介绍（中）	用对比材料镶嵌木材的镶嵌技术在埃及一直很受欢迎，可以追溯到法老时代。伊斯兰在这项技术上的工作可以追溯到九世纪以后。围绕装饰主面板的直角线性交错，以及填充正面细长的卡通形面板和顶部菱形面板的图案，直接下降，与九世纪埃及镶嵌画上的这种装饰几乎没有变化。所谓的大卫之星图案，以及填充较大图案的星星和六边形图案，源自罗马艺术，尤其是地板马赛克，在伊斯兰时期的镶嵌和木制品中特别流行。其他媒体中与装饰不太遥远的呼应是交替的六边形和细长六边形的外部边界，它们最终源于塞尔朱克建筑装饰，并作为各种媒体的边界而广受欢迎，包括书籍装订和地毯。尽管这个盒子上有很多古老的图案，但背景及其开花的喷雾，尤其是郁金香的花朵，无疑表明了它的奥斯曼时代。
介绍（英）	The technique of marquetry and inlaying of wood with contrasting material has always enjoyed great popularity in Egypt, going back to Pharaonic times. Fine examples of Islamic work in the technique date from the ninth century onward. The right-angle linear interlace that surrounds the main panels of decoration, as well as the motifs that fill the elongated cartouche-shaped panel on the front and the lozenge-shaped panel on the top, descend directly—and with little change—from such decoration to be found on ninth-century Egyptian marquetry. The so-called star of David motifs, as well as the patterns of stars and hexagons that fill the larger ones, derive from Roman art, especially floor mosaics, and were especially popular in marquetry and woodwork of the Islamic period. Less distant echoes of decoration in other media are the outside borders of alternating hexagons and elongated hexagons, which ultimately derive from Seljuq architectural ornament and enjoyed popularity as borders for a variety of media, including bookbindings and carpets. Despite the profusion of old motifs present on this box, the background, with its flowering sprays, particularly the tulip blossoms, gives a sure indication of its Ottoman date.
