The Royal Scribe. Painted limestone sculpture; Saqqara, Egypt. Old Kingdom , 5th Dynasty. This statue presents the ideal image of a perfect official. The position of scribe was one of the most honoured in ancient Egypt, therefore many tomb owners from the time of Khufu (4th Dynasty) onwards to the Late Period, had themselves represented in the squatting scribal attitude, reading or writing. The face of this anonymous scribe is emphasized by a slight asymmetry and by the style of the wig, the locks of which are thrown back over the shoulders leaving the face free. JE 30272

Bust of a male statue. Wooden Sculpture; 2475 BCE, Old Kingdom (5th dynasty). It is assumed that this statue of a young man represented the priest Ka-aper in his youth. However this assumption still lacks firm archeological proof. Nevertheless, the statue shows skill and artistic charm. The realistic face is that of a young man, as is the tall slim body, simply and elegantly sculptured. It was originally plastered and painted. The inlaid eyes, and slightly asymmetrical face with the serious mouth and rather haughty bearing, give the portrait a very lively character. JE 10177

Pharaoh Amenophis III (1391-1353 BCE) in chariot wearing a crown with the uraeus cobra. God Nekhbet (vulture) is depicted hovering with her wings spread above the royal image, clutching an ankh (symbol of life) in her claws. Next to the Pharaoh is a depiction of his cartouche (Symbol of the royal name). Relief from the Temple of Merneptah (1213 - 1203 BCE). Merneptah used stones and reliefs from the 150 year older nearby Temple of Amenophis III (1391-1353 BCE).
