Description
Ancient Egyptian kings commonly represented their enemies as prisoners or as slaves under their feet, to show how they are conquered in front of their deities and their people. The sculptor has clearly shown their ethnicity in the facial features of these African prisoners, who are wearing short wigs. They have high cheekbones, protruding eyes, and round bearded faces. The noses have been damaged.

D'habitude, les rois de l'Egypte ancienne représentaient leurs ennemis en tant que prisonniers ou esclaves sous leurs pieds et ce, afin de les humilier face à leurs dieux et à leur peuple. Le sculpteur est parvenu à montrer l'appartenance ethnique de ces prisonniers africains à travers les traits de leur visage : des pommettes saillantes, des yeux globuleux et des visages ronds et barbus. Quant aux nez, ils furent endommagés. Précisons également que ces esclaves ont des perruques courtes.
كان من عادة الملوك المصريين القدماء تمثيل أعدائهم تحت أقدامهم، لاثبات غزواتهم أمام أربابهم وشعوبهم. وقد نجح الفنان فى ابراز ملامح الوجه التى تميز الأجناس الأفريقية. حيث صورهم بعظام خد مرتفعة وعيون بارزة ووجوه بذقون مستديرة، أما الأنف فقد كسرت. وقد وضع هولاء السجناء شعراً مستعاراً قصيراً.
