Talk:The Seated Scribe

Photo
I added back my original photo because it shows the complete figure. The other photo is of better quality but shows only the head of the sculpture. Stane 12:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

This painted limestone sculpture represents a man in a seated position, presumably a scribe. The figure is dressed in a white kilt stretched to its knees. It is holding a half rolled papyrus. Perhaps the most striking part aspect of the figure is its face. Its realistic features stand in contrast to perhaps more rigid and somewhat less detailed body. Hands, fingers, and fingernails of the sculpture are delicately modeled. The hands are in writing position. 41.129.84.135 (talk) 21:09, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
