介绍（中）	在博物馆在底比斯墓（TT）252号附近挖掘时发现了几个天篷罐的碎片，包括一个零碎的人头盖，这是一个名叫Senimen的人的坟墓。塞尼门是图特摩斯二世统治时期的高级官员，哈特谢普苏特和图特摩斯三世联合统治期间，塞尼门是奈菲鲁尔公主、图特摩斯二世和哈特谢普苏特女儿的管家和家庭教师。古埃及天篷罐的目的是在木乃伊制作过程中固定和保护从死者体内取出的内脏。传统上，它们以四件一组的形式出现，肝脏，肺，胃和肠子都经过防腐处理并单独存放。这四个容器通常放在一个箱子里，放在墓室里。这两组相连的碎片代表了一个罐子的一部分，罐子上有铭文，上面有塞尼门的名字，并祈求女神塞尔凯特和荷鲁斯四子之一的神 Qebehsenuef。在塞尔凯特的保护下，克贝塞努埃夫的任务是看守塞尼门的肠子，这些肠子可能就储存在这个罐子里。
介绍（英）	Fragments of several canopic jars, including a fragmentary human-headed lid, were uncovered during the Museum's excavations in the vicinity of Theban tomb (TT) no. 252, the tomb of a man named Senimen. A high official during the reign of Thutmose II and the joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, Senimen was the steward and tutor of Princess Neferure, Thutmose II and Hatshepsut’s daughter. The purpose of canopic jars in ancient Egypt was to hold and protect the viscera removed from the deceased’s body during the mummification process. They traditionally came in sets of four, with the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines each embalmed and stored separately. The four containers were usually put inside a chest and placed in the tomb chamber. These two groups of joined fragments represent parts of a jar bearing an inscription that names Senimen and invokes the goddess Selket and the deity Qebehsenuef, one of the four Sons of Horus. Under Selket’s protection, Qebehsenuef's task was to guard Senimen’s intestines, which probably were stored in this jar.
