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64.260可以追溯到佩皮二世统治时期囚犯雕像大概放置在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，对外国相术的刻板印象明显存在，但它们与新王国时期已知的、按种族划分的相术并不一致。这个人可能代表北方邻近地区的敌人或近东人。他上半身的肌肉已经被背部的胳膊肘拉得变形了，他的表情似乎表达了深深的顺从。
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 64.260 can be dated to the reign of Pepi II for stylistic reasons. Statues of prisoners were presumably placed in areas 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 man may represent an enemy from adjacent lands in the north or a Near Easterner. The muscles of his upper body have been stretched out of shape by lashing his elbows behind his back, and he wears an expression that seems to convey profound resignation.
