古埃及的桨娃娃 Paddle Doll

Posted 2021-04-01 魔女屋LYL

Paddle Doll, Egypt, 2030–1802 B.C. The so-called paddle doll consists of a flat piece of wood depicting the torso, rudimentary arms and neck of a woman, with a thick shock of "hair" made of beads strung on linen thread. The body is often painted with jewelry, textile patterns or tattoos. Contrary to their name, these "dolls" were not toys. The key-hole shape of the body is similar to the counterpoise of the menat necklaces that were used as percussion instruments during religious ceremonies.

桨娃娃，埃及，公元前2030——1830年。所谓的桨娃娃由一块木板，描绘出躯干，简化的肢体和一个女人的脖子。装饰有用亚麻线串珠形成的头发状装饰。作为身体的木板上画上珠宝，图案或者纹身。和桨娃娃的名字含义相反，这些“娃娃”们不是玩具。钥匙孔形的身体类似于在宗教仪式中被用来作为打击乐器的护身符项链。

Paddle dolls are a type of female figurine found in burials beginning in the Egyptian Predynastic period, and particularly in the Middle Kingdom (2040-1750 BC). Female figurines made of clay, found in later tombs, are considered a later development of these sometimes elaborately coiffured wooden dolls.

桨娃娃是一种女性雕像在埃及前王朝时期的墓葬品中发现，特别是在中王国（公元前2040至1750年）。粘土制成的女俑，在晚期墓葬中发现，被认为是这些精心雕刻的木娃娃的后期发展形式。

Paddle dolls were often highly stylized, and archaeologists currently suggest that the emphasis on the breast, hips and pubic area - the sexual characteristics of the figure - symbolizes the sexual aspects of regeneration. This theory identifies the artifacts as fertility symbols placed in burials to guarantee eternal rebirth. Other theories assert that the dolls may have been placed in tombs to do jobs for the deceased in the Osirian afterworld, to protect the deceased or to provide entertainment. These wooden dolls may also be one of the earliest documented toys.

桨娃娃往往高度程式化，考古学家目前建议考察重点放在乳房，臀部和耻骨区 - 第二性征 - 象征再生性方面的问题。这个理论认为，以生育符号陪葬，是保证永恒的重生。其他理论断言，娃娃可能被放置在墓葬里做死者往生的工具，以保护死者或提供娱乐。这些木娃娃也可能是最早的记载玩具之一。

Several types of paddle dolls have been discovered in tombs in Egypt. The dolls are made of wood, flat, and constructed in a shape has led the form to be called a 'paddle doll'. The dolls seemingly follow a convention for the female figure, emphasizing the hips and hair. The wooden figures are usually painted with a geometric pattern of lines and dots. These patterns may reproduce tattos or ritual scaring in female Egypian culture of the period or represent clothing or jewelry. Some have hair composed of unfired clay and faience beads strung on flax fiber, sometimes interwoven with squares of straw to imitate gold hair rings.

A fine example of a paddle doll with hair constructed of string and sun-dried clay beads, found in a tomb in Ancient Egypt, is on display at the British Museum.

Paddle Doll Paddle dolls were once thought to be children’s playthings. On the back, however, the goddess Taweret, who protected pregnant women, is drawn. The image of the goddess, together with the explicit marking of the pubic triangle on the front, now leads scholars to think that these paddle figures magically encouragedfertility in the tomb, thus allowing rebirth into the afterlife.

桨娃娃曾经被认为是孩子们的玩具。然而，在背面的女神Taweret，她是保护孕妇的女神。女神的形象再加上明确的前面耻骨三角形的标记，使学者认为，这些桨娃娃在坟墓里的作用是使来世重生。
