The Scribe (Dynasty IV)

The Scribe (Dynasty IV)
Ancient Egyptians considered the profession of the scribe to be the highest of professions. The scribe was close to the Pharaoh because of his wisdom and knowledge. This statue is made of painted limestone and is of an unknown squatting scribe holding an open papyrus roll on his knees. The eyes are of inlaid quartz and framed with bronze. Although the ancient Egyptian was very careful to keep up with artistic standards in sculpture, there is a little deviation of the statue’s head to the right side as if thinking before writing.
