介绍（中）	晚期和托勒密时期的小型浮雕或雕塑以部分或未完成的方式描绘了一个主题，但它们本身就是完成的物体，构成了一类特殊的物体。旨在为艺术家提供的指导方针通常作为物品的一部分突出展出，尽管事实上，在许多情况下，可以注意到物品根本无法作为传统正式埃及代表的合适模型。王权的人物，可能代表现在新兴的半神伊姆霍特普和哈普之子阿蒙霍特普的人物，以及像哈波克拉特或伊西斯这样受欢迎的神，在语料库中有很大的代表性这些人物的这些性质和其他特征表明，这类浮雕和雕塑，有时被埃及学家称为"雕塑家的模型/誓言"，是捐赠实践的材料，可能与这些世纪多产的寺庙建筑有关。不幸的是，关于这种捐赠行为的机制，几乎没有什么可以告诉我们的在这个例子中，国王展示了一种变体uraeus——蛇头向下垂在前额上，而不是升起——经常出现在这组物品中的皇家化身上。
介绍（英）	Small Late Period and Ptolemaic reliefs or sculptures that depict a subject in a partial or unfinished way but are themselves finished objects constitute a special class of object. Guidelines purporting to be for artists are often prominently exhibited as part of the object, although, in fact, many instances can be noted where the object simply could not serve as a suitable model for a traditional formal Egyptian representation. Personifications of kingship, figures that may represent the now emerging demigods Imhotep and Amenhotep Son of Hapu, and popular gods like Harpokrates or Isis, are heavily represented within the corpus. These nature of these figures and other features indicate the reliefs and sculptures of this class, sometimes called by Egyptologists “sculptor’s models / votives,” were the material for a donation practice, perhaps connected with the prolific temple building of these centuries. Unfortunately there is little to illuminate us about the mechanics of such a donation practice. In this example, the king displays a variant uraeus - the snake's head hangs downward over the forehead rather than rising - often seen on the royal personifications among this group of objects.
