介绍（中）	石膏面具在埃及中部似乎特别受欢迎。当然，它们是从埃及传统发展而来的，但外表可以非常个性化，不同程度上遵循了罗马的发型、服装和珠宝时尚。这个面具与梅尔的一个团体非常相似，几乎可以肯定来自那个地方。这个女人被描绘成平躺在她的棺材上。她戴着一顶由植物纤维制成的埃及式长假发，一件带黑色克拉维（条纹）的深红色束腰外衣，戴着包括新月形吊坠和蛇手镯在内的珠宝。在她的束腰外衣的下边缘有两个洞，用来把面具固定在木乃伊上然后她的后脑勺被表示为放在装饰过的支架上。头顶上是一个镀金的花环，环绕着一只金龟子甲虫，代表黎明时分出现的太阳，象征着重生。空隙和周围区域填充着复杂的图案地面，两侧填充着一排泰耶特结和djed柱，这是伊西斯和奥西里斯的象征。面具边缘有一个主要的寄存器，以奥西里斯神为中心，奥西里斯是再生力量的来源，两侧是伊西斯和奈弗提斯。奥西里斯和两位女神的右边是荷鲁斯、阿蒙、托思和雷。左边是阿努比斯、特弗努特、哈托尔和塞沙特。这些神是死者复活的见证人。
介绍（英）	Plaster masks seem to have been particularly popular in Middle Egypt. They develop of course from Egyptian traditions, but appearances could be strongly individualized and Roman fashions of hairstyle, dress and jewelry were followed to varying degrees. This mask is very similar to a group from Meir and almost certainly came from that site. The woman is represented as if lying flat upon her bier. She wears a long Egyptian-style wig made of plant fibers, a deep-red tunic with black clavi (stripes), and jewelry that includes a lunula (crescent pendant), and snake bracelets. At the lower edge of her tunic are two holes, which were used for attaching the mask to the mummy. The back of her head is then represented as resting on a decorated support. Over the top of her head is a gilded wreath encircling a scarab beetle that represents the sun appearing at dawn, a metaphor for rebirth. The interstices and surrounding area are filled with a complex patterned ground, with the sides filled by a register of tyet knots and djed pillars, symbols of Isis and Osiris. A main register runs around the edge of the mask which centers on the god Osiris, the source of regenerative power, who is flanked by Isis and Nephthys. To the right of Osiris and the two goddesses are Horus, Amun, Thoth, and Re. To the left are Anubis, Tefnut, Hathor, and Seshat. These gods serve as witnesses to the deceased's resurrection.
