EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art and craftsmanship. The painted limestone statue, dating back to the Old Kingdom's Dynasty V, depicts a scribe in all his glory. With legs crossed and sitting in an upright position, the scribe emanates an air of wisdom and authority. The intricate carving on this full-length sculpture is truly awe-inspiring. Against a black background, every detail stands out vividly - from the folds of his shirtless attire to the delicate features on his face. Holding what appears to be a writing instrument, this scribe symbolizes knowledge and literacy in ancient Egypt. Displayed in a studio setting with front view perspective, this vertical image allows us to appreciate the single object at its finest. Its male likeness represents not only an individual but also reflects the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Egyptian civilization. Transporting us back thousands of years into the past, this photograph offers a glimpse into the enigmatic world of Saqqara during Egypt's Old Kingdom era. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity that has endured through time
