介绍（中）	这个跪着的小雕像，头大，五官优美，身体丰满，腿短，是晚期一些金属皇家雕像的特征，当时国王与伊希斯的儿子荷鲁斯等少年神有关。这件作品与阿玛西斯统治时期的石像一样，证明了他统治期间所达到的高水平艺术性。这个人物是实心的——身体、四肢、属性都是整体铸造的。珍贵的金属叶子曾经覆盖了国王的克星;苏格兰短裙翻盖和背面腰带上镶嵌的铭文提供了额外的装饰，在每种情况下都拼写出不同的阿玛西斯国王名字。铭文是在雕像生命中的不同时间执行的，从一开始就计划在背面刻有较早的铭文，在短裙正面刻有二级铭文。迄今为止，尚未确认在原本完整的图形上添加替代铭文的明确动机。两个前臂在古代都受损，可能是当这个人物从底部扭动时。
介绍（英）	The childlike appearance of this kneeling statuette, with its large head, beautiful features, plump body, and short legs, is characteristic of some metal royal statues made during the Late Period, when the king was associated with juvenile gods such as Horus, son of Isis. This work, like the stone statuary from the reign of Amasis, testifies to the high level of artistry attained during his rule. The figure is solid-the body, limbs, and attributes were all integrally cast. Precious-metal leaf once covered the king's nemes; additional embellishment was provided by inlaid inscriptions on the kilt flap and the belt in the back, in each case spelling out a different name of King Amasis. The inscriptions were executed at different times in the life of the statue, an earlier inscription on the back planned from the beginning, and a secondary inscription on the front of the kilt. No clear motive for adding a replacement inscription to an otherwise complete figure has thus far been recognized. Both forearms were damaged in antiquity, probably when the figure was wrenched from its base.
