介绍（中）	从18世纪早期王朝（约公元前1500年）开始，蓝百合形状的粉笔是人们熟悉的葬具。这种花与生命和重生的联系使其成为各种仪式中的有力象征。在第21王朝，这样的酒杯上装饰着精心细致的浮雕装饰，以放大这一主题本例中的主要场景是围绕杯体的一条带，描绘了三条船在一条狭窄的水域上向观众移动，所有这些都是在以高大的莎草纸植物为主的沼泽背景下。在每艘船的船尾都有一个女性人物，她通过拉动纸莎草茎或使用杆子来推动船。中心船的船头有一只小牛；在这张照片的右边，一个男人向前走，手里拿着一个小窝。在他前面是第二艘船，在这个例子中，船头有两个长着羽毛的蛇神。在中心船后面是另一个人，这次他背着一只大小牛。在第三艘船的船头上方，在这个人的左边，有一只鸟在飞翔。在主登记处上方是一条狭窄的带，里面装满了水鸟和它们的巢，其中一条带显示了一个正在孵化的蛋。杯子的底部装饰有四个萼片和七个花瓣，增强了杯子与百合的区别。容器的茎和底部也装饰有额外的植物。
介绍（英）	Chalices in the form of the blue lily were familiar items among burial equipment beginning in early Dynasty 18 (ca. 1500 B.C.). The flower's association with life and rebirth made it a potent symbol in ritual contexts of all kinds. In Dynasty 21, such chalices were adorned with elaborately detailed relief decoration that amplifies this theme. The principal scene on this example, in a band around the body of the cup, depicts three boats moving to viewer right on a narrow strip of water, all against a marshy background dominated by tall papyrus plants. In the stern of each boat is a female figure, who propels the craft by either pulling on a papyrus stem or using a pole. In the bow of the central boat is a calf; to the right of this, a man walks forward, holding a nest containing a chick. In front of him is a second boat, in this case with two plumed serpent deities in the bow. Behind the central boat is another man, this time carrying a large calf. Fluttering above the bow of the third boat, to the left of this man, is a bird. Above the main register is a narrow band filled with waterfowl and their nests, one of which shows an egg in the process of hatching. The base of the cup is decorated with four sepals and seven petals, enhancing the identification of the chalice with the lily. The stem and foot of the vessel are also adorned with additional plants.
