介绍（中）	魔法魔杖通常出现在中世纪的墓葬中。许多都饰有保护恶魔和神灵的雕刻人物，铭文中提到了对儿童的保护。有些尖端有磨损痕迹。有人认为，这些是用于魔术表演的乐器，目的是保护儿童。作为埋葬设备的一部分，它们将为死者获得重生这根魔杖的三块碎片是在利什特北部466号竖井墓中发现的。在同样被彻底掠夺的竖井系统中，还发现了一尊小雕像，现藏于开罗埃及博物馆（JE 45245，1914年10月出版的《大都会艺术博物馆公报》第10期，第200页，第217页图8）。这尊小雕像的铭文可以追溯到第13王朝，同一竖井中的一些陶器来自同一个中世纪晚期。然而，同样来自同一竖井系统的两个kohl罐子（其中一个见22.1.849）的年代为第12王朝早期。这些可能是中王国晚期墓葬中的传家宝，也可能是竖井系统中的墓葬，竖井系统由三个墓室组成，延长了相当长的时间。由于发现的所有物体都散落在填充竖井和墓室的碎片中，因此无法再确定魔杖最初是与小雕像还是kohl壶有关，因此其日期也不完全确定。
介绍（英）	Magical wands are typically found in Middle Kingdom burials. Many are decorated with incised figures of protective demons and deities, and inscriptions refer to the protection of children. Some show traces of wear on the tips. It has been suggested that these were instruments used in magic performances aimed at the protection of children. As parts of burial equipments they would then have served to procure rebirth for the deceased. The three fragments of this magical wand were found in shaft tomb 466 at Lisht North. In the same thoroughly plundered shaft system was also found a statuette, now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo (JE 45245, published Bulletin of the Metropolitan Museum of Art 10, October 1914, p. 200 with fig. 8 on p. 217). This statuette can be dated on the evidence of its inscription to Dynasty 13, and some pottery vessels from the same shaft are from the same late Middle Kingdom period. Two kohl jars (for one of them see 22.1.849), however, also from the same shaft system are of early 12th dynasty date. These may either be heirlooms included in the late Middle Kingdom burials, or burials in the shaft system, which comprised three chambers, extended over a considerable time. Since all objects were discovered scattered throughout the debris filling the shaft and chambers, it can no longer be determined whether the the magical wand was originally associated with the statuette or the kohl pots and its date is, therefore, not entirely certain.
