介绍（中）	这些街区属于一个纪念性的大门，在古代被拆除并埋葬。大门上装饰着至少七个场景，这些场景模仿了早期对重要王权仪式的描绘。这一幕描绘了白河马节，庆祝这种动物的罕见出现。国王的大人物穿着一件特制的披肩，手里拿着一根棍子。他对面正好是布鲁塞尔的一个街区，里面展示了河马本身。在右下角，两名男子做手势跳舞以示庆祝。拥有旧王国头衔和服饰的官员们围绕在现场浮雕的样式很复杂。国王精致光滑的脸颊和轮廓，尽管不完整，但在这里可以察觉，与次要人物的脸颊和圆下巴形成对比。凸起的表面是巨大的，但没有详细建模，使描绘具有令人印象深刻的品质这个浮雕是在一个通常被认为是四月的建筑附近发现的，但国王的serekh名字矩形是空的，因此没有提供特定的日期。尽管如此，这些浮雕可以被证明标志着晚期艺术发展的一个特殊时刻，而这一时刻只可能发生在Apries或他的继任者Amasis统治时期。
介绍（英）	These blocks belonged to a monumental gateway dismantled and buried in antiquity. The gateway was decorated with at least seven scenes modeled on early depictions of important rituals of kingship. This scene depicts the Festival of the White Hippopotamus, which celebrated the rare appearance of such an animal. The large figure of the king wears a special stole and grasps a staff. Opposite him fits a block now in Brussels, which shows the hippopotamus itself. On the lower right, two men gesture and dance in celebration. Officials with Old Kingdom titles and costumes surround the scene. The style of the relief is complicated. The sophisticated smooth cheeks and profile of the king, perceptible here even though incomplete, contrast with the pouchy cheeks and round chins of the secondary figures. The raised surface is voluminous, but not modeled in detail, giving the depictions an imposing quality. This relief was found near a structure usually ascribed to Apries, but the king's serekh name-rectangle is left empty and so does not provide a certain date. Still, the reliefs can be shown to mark a particular moment in the development of art in the Late Period that can have occurred only in the reign of Apries or his successor, Amasis.
