介绍（中）	埃及的狮头女神包括许多神，包括萨赫米特、瓦德杰和巴斯特等。在这种伪装下，女神们是凶猛的保护神，但也可以通过暴力、瘟疫和瘟疫代表众神带来毁灭。这尊雕像采用了许多狮头女神常见的几种肖像元素，包括直立的姿势、与三方假发相结合的狮子鬃毛、长袍和太阳盘。这个身材的手臂与身体成比例地长，突出了她高大修长的身材狮头女神佩戴的太阳圆盘有时与Wadjet联系在一起，暗示她是太阳神Re的女儿和眼睛，但许多女神都有这一点，类似的刻有铭文的小雕像命名了几个不同的神；如果没有铭文或上下文，很难为这个人物确定一个确切的身份。
介绍（英）	Lion-headed goddesses in Egypt encompassed numerous deities including Sakhmet, Wadjet, and Bastet, among others. In this guise, the goddesses were fierce protective deities, but ones that could also bring about destruction on behalf of the gods, both through violence and through plague and pestilence. This figure utilizes several iconographic elements common to many lion-headed goddesses including the upright standing posture, the lion’s mane combined with a tripartite wig, the long gown, and the sun disk. This figure’s arms, long in proportion to the body, emphasize her tall, slender frame. The sun disk, when worn by a lion-headed goddess, is sometimes linked with Wadjet, and alludes to her role as the daughter and eye of the sun god Re, but many goddesses shared this aspect and similar inscribed statuettes name several different deities; without an inscription or context, it is difficult to assign a precise identity to this figure.
