介绍（中）	北萨加拉的圣物墓地包括几个神圣物种的地下墓穴和寺庙，其中包括狒狒，它们在有生之年被饲养在孟菲斯的Ptah-under-his-moringa树神庙的范围内。寺庙和其他表面结构都矗立在一个大型连接露台上，该露台建在悬崖上，地下墓穴被切割成悬崖。这尊雕像以及另一尊大小相似但外观略有不同的雕像是埃及探索协会在圣动物墓地挖掘时发现的。这些雕像在古代被扔下了狒狒地下墓穴的楼梯，因此它们的原始位置尚不清楚。可以在地下墓穴内门入口处或地下墓穴本身的入口处放置位置，但其中一个雕像也可能站在狒狒建筑群入口附近的狒狒教堂中。虽然具有突出的面部胡须，厚肩鬃毛和水平鼻子的hamadryas狒狒是新王国和以前的特征，但在这个雕塑中看到的头部和肩部鬃毛的平滑处理既反映了晚期的风格趋势，也反映了其他狒狒物种的引入，如cynocephalus进入埃及。恢复的鼻子已经改编自其他晚期表现形式。
介绍（英）	The Sacred Animal Necropolis at North Saqqara comprised catacombs and temples for several sacred species, among them the baboons who during their lifetimes were kept in the precinct of the Temple of Ptah-under-his-moringa-tree at Memphis. The temples and other surface structures all stood on a large connecting terrace built up against the cliff into which the catacombs were cut. This statue along with another of similar size but somewhat different appearance was found by the Egypt Exploration Society during its excavations at the Sacred Animal Necropolis. The statues had been anciently thrown down a stairway in the baboon catacombs, so that their original positions are not known. A position at the entrance to an internal gate within the catacombs or at the entrance to the catacombs themselves is possible, but one of the statues could also have stood in the Baboon Chapel adjacent to the entrance to the baboon complex. While the hamadryas baboon with its projecting facial whiskers, thick shoulder mane, and horizontal snout was characteristic of the New Kingdom and before, the smooth treatment of the head and shoulder mane seen in this sculpture reflects both the stylistic tendencies of the Late Period and also the introduction of other baboon species like the cynocephalus into Egypt. The snout, which is restored, has been adapted from other late representations.
