介绍（中）	在Deir el Bahri的MMA墓825中挖掘了三张奉献床（31.3.108，31.3.109和开罗的第三张）和一块小石碑（31.3.110）。这些是保存完好的物体的例子，仅在第 22 和第 26 王朝之间出现在底比斯。最近关于该类型的一些研究，特别是MMA 31.3.108，揭示了它们的重要性以及它们对理解非寺庙宗教习俗和艺术规定的许多有趣意义。这些物品的装饰包括正面站立的裸体女性在船上，带有神圣树皮，Bes人物和特定植被等傀儡;其他一些例子包括跪着的女性演奏琵琶。装饰带有女性生育、受孕和分娩的意义。然而，奉献床似乎也可能与埃及新年节日以及缺席的女神和洪水回归的神话有关。例如，女性形象所戴的王冠表明了这一点，这是与洪水回归有关的女神阿努基斯通常佩戴的王冠。特定床型的起源和物品的使用尚不清楚，但根据对发现点的分析，有人认为这些物品与阿蒙神和神妻子周围的寺庙妇女小圈子有关。
介绍（英）	Three votive beds (31.3.108, 31.3.109 and a third in Cairo) and a small stela (31.3.110) were excavated in MMA tomb 825 at Deir el Bahri. These are very well-preserved examples of a type of object that appeared only in Thebes between the 22nd and 26th Dynasties. A number of recent studies of the type and of MMA 31.3.108 in particular have revealed much about their significance and about their many interesting implications for understanding non-temple religious practices and artistic provision for the same. The decoration of these objects includes frontal standing nude females in boats with figureheads like sacred barks, Bes figures, and particular vegetation; some other examples include a kneeling female playing a lute. The decoration carries with it significations for female fertility, conception, and birth. However, it also seems likely that votive beds are associated with the Egyptian New Year festival, and the myth of the return of the absent goddess and the flood. This is indicated, for example, by the crown worn by the female figure, which is one usually worn by Anukis, a goddess linked to the return of the flood. The origin of the particular bed-form and the use of the objects are hardly clear, but based on analysis of find spots it has been suggested that the objects are associated with the coterie of temple women around the god Amun and the God’s Wives.
