介绍（中）	至少从第五王朝中期开始，法老金字塔建筑群中出现了大量被束缚的外国俘虏雕塑。佩皮一世和佩皮二世有很多这样的人。由于风格原因，这件作品和相关的作品47，2可以追溯到佩皮二世统治时期囚犯雕像大概放置在金字塔建筑群中发生战斗和胜利场面的区域。这些雕像颈部、肩部和中部断裂的一致性有力地证明，雕像是仪式性处决的，可能是为了纪念金字塔群历史上的一些事件尽管在旧王国时期，对外国相貌师的刻板印象明显存在，但它们与新王国时期已知的、以种族划分的形象并不一致。这尊雕像可能代表沙漠居民或来自北方邻近土地的人。他的脸上露出一种可以理解的恐惧表情。
介绍（英）	Beginning at least in the mid-Fifth Dynasty, large sculptures of bound foreign captives appeared in the pharaoh's pyramid complex. Pepi I and Pepi II had great numbers of them. This piece and the associated piece 47,2 can be dated to the reign of Pepi II for stylistic reasons. Statues of prisoners were presumably placed in areas of the pyramid complex where battle and triumph scenes occurred. The consistency of the breaks on these figures at the neck or shoulder and midtorso argue strongly that the statues were ritually executed, presumably to mark some event in the history of the pyramid complex. Although stereotypes of foreign physiognomies clearly existed during the Old Kingdom, they do not correspond well with those known and identified by ethnicity from the New Kingdom.This statue may represent a desert dweller or a man from adjacent lands in the north. His face wears an expression of understandable terror.
