EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette from the second millennium B. C. It depicts a scribe sitting cross-legged on the floor, his hands resting on his thighs with utmost concentration. The intricate details of this ancient artifact are truly awe-inspiring. The scribe is depicted holding a papyrus scroll that rests open on his skirt, suggesting he is deeply engrossed in reading or writing. This representation offers us a glimpse into the world of ancient Egyptian culture and their reverence for knowledge and literature. Housed in the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin, Italy, this statuette belongs to the Middle Kingdom period of Egyptian art. Its exquisite craftsmanship and delicate engravings demonstrate the skill and mastery of artisans during that time. The male likeness portrayed here exudes an air of wisdom and authority, reflecting the importance placed upon literacy in ancient Egypt. The hieroglyphs adorning both sides of the scroll further emphasize its significance as a tool for communication and record-keeping.
