6The Seated Scribe from Saqqara (4th Dynasty 2620–2500 BC)

The Louvre Egyptian antiquities department contains more than 50,000 objects and The Seated Scribe is considered one of the most important works in the collection.

The incredible modeling of the face and body demonstrate the high level of artistic excellence attained by the artists and craftsmen of ancient Egypt. So realistic, it could be your neighbor in a kilt ready to capture your thoughts on papyrus!
