Title
Caryatid Mirror
Object type Cosmetic Objects
Description
English: Both ancient Egyptian men and women loved cosmetics. Unguents, oils, and perfumes made from aromatic plant resins and gums were obtained at great cost from distant lands. The objects identified with cosmetics were given lavish treatment. The luxurious obsidian and gold beaker hints at the precious contents it once held. Others are fanciful in form, such as an ostrich egg. The god Bes, patron god of cosmetics, himself is the subject of a colorful jar. The delicately carved human face and the head of a giraffe decorated elaborate ivory cosmetic spoons.
العربية: كان كل من المصريين القدماء والنساء يحبون مستحضرات التجميل. تم الحصول على البقايا والزيوت والعطور المصنوعة من الراتنجات واللثة النباتية العطرية بتكلفة كبيرة من الأراضي البعيدة. تم إعطاء الأشياء التي تم تحديدها بمستحضرات التجميل معاملة سخية. يلمح دورق الزجاج البركاني الفاخر والذهبي إلى المحتويات الثمينة التي كان يحتفظ بها من قبل. البعض الآخر خيالي في الشكل ، مثل بيضة النعام. الإله بيس ، إله مستحضرات التجميل ، هو نفسه موضوع جرة ملونة. وجه الإنسان المنحوت بدقة ورأس الزرافة مزين بملاعق تجميلية عاجية متقنة.
