介绍（中）	这件埃及木雕杰作是在通往皇家总管家Meketre岩石切割墓的通道一侧的一个隐藏的房间里发现的，Meketre在第11王朝国王Nephepetre Mentuhotep II的领导下开始了他的职业生涯，并一直为历任国王服务，直到第12王朝初年。与第二个非常相似的女性雕像（现藏于开罗埃及博物馆）一起，这座雕像两侧是22个花园、作坊、船只和葬礼游行队伍的模型，这些模型被挤在狭小的房间里女人用左腿向前走，头上提着一个装满肉块的篮子。她右手抓住一只活鸭子的翅膀。该人物的肖像画在旧王国的浮雕中广为人知，浮雕中描绘了一排排抬祭品的人。地名通常写在这些人物旁边，将其视为遗产的化身，为墓主人的精神提供永久的寄托。这位女士佩戴着丰富的珠宝，穿着一件饰有羽毛图案的连衣裙，这种衣服通常与女神联系在一起。因此，这个人物及其在开罗的同伴也可能与陪葬女神伊西斯和奈弗提斯联系在一起，她们经常被描绘在棺材的底部和头部，保护死者 Meketre墓中所有可进入的房间在古代都被掠夺过，但在1920年初，博物馆的挖掘机Herbert Winlock让他的工人清理堆积的碎片，以获得准确的陵墓平面图。正是在这次清理行动中，这个隐藏的小房间被发现了，里面装满了几乎保存完好的模型和两尊雕像。在埃及政府和大都会博物馆之间的藏品划分中，一半的藏品被送往开罗的埃及博物馆，一半则被送往纽约链接到82&；第五个维持
介绍（英）	This masterpiece of Egyptian wood carving was discovered in a hidden chamber at the side of the passage leading into the rock cut tomb of the royal chief steward Meketre, who began his career under King Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II of Dynasty 11 and continued to serve successive kings into the early years of Dynasty 12. Together with a second, very similar female figure (now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo) this statue flanked the group of twenty two models of gardens, workshops, boats, and a funeral procession that were crammed into the chamber's narrow space. Striding forward with her left leg, the woman carries on her head a basket filled with cuts of meat. In her right hand she holds a live duck by its wings. The figure's iconography is well known from reliefs of the Old Kingdom in which rows of offering bearers were depicted. Place names were often written beside these figures identifying them as personifications of estates that would provide sustenance for the spirit of the tomb owner in perpetuity. The woman is richly adorned with jewelry and wears a dress decorated with a pattern of feathers, the kind of garment often associated with goddesses. Thus, this figure and its companion in Cairo may also be associated with the funerary goddesses Isis and Nephthys who are often depicted at the foot and head of coffins, protecting the deceased. All the accessible rooms in the tomb of Meketre had been plundered in ancient times, but, early in 1920, the Museum's excavator, Herbert Winlock had his workmen clean out the accumulated debris in order to obtain an accurate floor plan of the tomb. It was during this cleaning operation that the small hidden chamber was discovered, filled with its almost perfectly preserved models and the two statues. In the division of finds between the Egyptian Government and the Metropolitan Museum, half of the contents went to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and half came to New York.
