介绍（中）	这种拨浪鼓的形状是一头牛，树桩表明它的腿的突出膝盖折叠在身体下面，尾巴沿着背部躺着。动物抬起头，转过头来，似乎很激动。一方面，身体的受限形式是由于需要握住和摇晃物体而必需的。另一方面，人物的构图让人想起埃及人对被捆绑和等待献祭的激动牛的描绘，这增加了拨浪鼓伴随着提供此类动物的寺庙或葬礼的可能性。拨浪鼓在前王朝时期就已经为人所知，那些保存下来的形状很简单。随着早期王朝和旧王国时期，出现了一些动物形式，通常相当压缩。中王国和新王国看到了更精致的形式。在第十八王朝晚期城市阿玛纳发现了几只拨浪鼓;特别是两个保存完好，一个是捆绑的羚羊形状，另一个是带有瞪羚头的葫芦形拨浪鼓。
介绍（英）	This rattle has the form of a cow with stumps indicating the protruding knees of its legs folded beneath its body and the tail lying along its back. The animal raises and turns its head, seemingly agitated. The confined form of the body is, on the one hand, necessitated by the need to hold and shake the object. On the other hand, the composition of the figure recalls very much Egyptian representations of agitated cattle bound and awaiting sacrifice, which raises the possibility the rattle accompanied a temple or funeral ceremony where such animals were offered. Rattles are known already in the Predynastic Period, those preserved having simple shapes. With the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom some animal forms appear, generally rather compressed. The Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom see more elaborate forms. Several rattles were found at the late eighteenth dynasty city of Amarna; two in particular were well-preserved, one with the form of a bound antelope and the other a gourd shaped rattle with a gazelle’s head.
