Description
The statuette depicts a Nile fish called a Bolti, which is a type of Tilapia. The fish is shown in detail with its eye, fins, and its numerous scales. Because the Bolti fish shelters its eggs and babies in its mouth, it was particularly symbolic of new life and regeneration.

Cette statuette représente un poisson du Nil appelé un bolti qui est une sorte de tilapia. Ce poisson est représenté en détail avec ses yeux, ses nageoires et ses nombreuses écailles. Du fait que le bolti abrite ses oeufs et ses petits dans sa bouche, il était le symbole de la nouvelle vie et de la régénération.
يصور هذا التمثال سمكة نيلية تسمى البلطى، والتى هى نوع من التيلابيا. وتظهر السمكة بتفاصيل عينها وزعانفها وقشورها الكثيرة. وحيث أن سمكة البلطى تخفى بيضها وصغارها فى فمها، لذلك فقد أصبحت على الأخص رمزاً للحياة الجديدة وإعادة الميلاد.
