介绍（中）	蓝莲花的芳香花朵是埃及所有艺术形式中常见的主题。因为它每天早上都会向太阳开放花瓣，这朵花成为创造和重生的象征。在第三个中期时期，由花朵形状衍生而来的费恩斯圣杯和其他费恩斯美食都装饰着浮雕场景，唤起了一系列神话，这些神话与国王作为太阳神的孩子在水沼泽环境中出生有关，因此，随着埃及新年洪水的开始，世界将从洪水淹没的土地上复苏在这里，在充满鱼、纸莎草丛和水芦苇的水的背景下，沼泽被唤起了一种神奇的环境：中央登记册上显示了一个肩上扛着小牛或牛的男人，一只巨大的水鸟和一只有角的动物，他们都骑着一条轻盈的纸莎草小船，一点也不倾斜，而在排行榜上，另一名男子徒手将一只有角的动物和一头巨大的公牛分开。
介绍（英）	The fragrant blossom of the blue lotus is a common motif in all forms of Egyptian art. Because it opened its petals to the sun each morning, the flower became a symbol of creation and rebirth. During the Third Intermediate Period, faience chalices derived from the shape of the blossom and other faience delicacies were decorated with relief scenes evoking a constellation of myths having to do with the birth of the king as child of the sun god out of the watery marsh environment, and thus the renewal of the world out of the flooded land anticipated with the beginning of the Inundation at the Egyptian New Year. Here, against a background of water filled with fish, papyrus clumps and water reeds, the marshes are evoked as a magical environment: the central register shows a man with a calf or cow over his shoulders, a huge water bird, and a horned animal all riding along in a light papyrus skiff without tipping in the least, while in the top register another man separates a horned animal and a huge bull with his bare hands.
