The Scribe
Seated Scribe. From the tomb of Kai, Saqqara. Dynasty 5, ca. 2494-2345 BCE. Old Kingdom. Painted Limestone.
This is a sculpture that was placed in the tomb of Kai. This is not an idealized sculpture, due to the not so favorable physique. So this is what Kai’s scribe most probably looked like in real life. Many pharohs had their servants with them (whether respresentations or the actual servants themselves) to have them continue to be their servants in the afterlife.
What’s most interesting about this piece is the likeness to a certain Egyption actor. Could this scribe of Kai actually be his ancestor?! Anything is possible.
If you’re wondering who I am hinting at, then you probably won’t guess right. Because the resemblance is unbelievably obvious.
So whose ancestor could this scribe be?
