介绍（中）	狮子的形象象征着法老征服了埃及的传统敌人之一努比亚人，这在早期的拉美西斯艺术中很常见，尤其是在拉美西斯二世统治期间。通常的表演是一个被捆绑的努比亚人跪在一只狮子面前，狮子用下巴夹住了这个人的后脑勺。毫无疑问，这个原型以缩写的形式展示了这个姿势。在图坦卡蒙的墓中发现了两个带有镀金狮子头的苍蝇搅拌器，这个原型可能还装饰了一个皇家苍蝇搅拌器或鞭子柄。狮子中空的脖子上有两个小孔，可以用销钉将其固定到位这件作品的年代可以追溯到拉美西斯二世统治时期，因为没有迹象表明狮子眼睛下方有泪痕，这是18世纪晚期猫科动物的常见特征，而早期拉美西斯的例子中往往缺乏这一特征（见35.1.23）。
介绍（英）	The image of a lion, which symbolizes the pharaoh, subjugating a Nubian, one of the traditional enemies of Egypt, is frequent in early Ramesside art, especially during the reign of Ramesses II. The usual rendition shows a bound Nubian kneeling before a lion that holds the back of the man's head in its jaws. Undoubtedly this protome shows the pose in an abbreviated form. Two fly whisks with gilded lion heads were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, and this protome may also have decorated a royal fly whisk or whip handle. The lion's hollow neck has two small holes allowing the piece to be doweled in place. The piece has been dated to the reign of Ramesses II because there is no indication of lachrimal, or tear, lines beneath the lion's eyes, a common feature of late Dynasty 18 representations of felines that is often lacking in early Ramesside examples (see 35.1.23).
