5h 47min, sep 29, 2620 y BC - Seated Scribe
Description:
Painted limestone, copper,
Saqqara, Egypt
Seated sculpted figure holding rolled papyrus and probably a pen that has since been lost.
Interestingly he is depicted in a more normal pose with normal features which contradicts most Egyptian art at that time that seemed to be more stylized.
