statue of Mitri as a Scribe

statue of Mitri as a Scribe-Mitri is known to have had many important religious and political positions, including Administrator of the Nome, and Priest of Maat. Mitri is sitting in the scribal position, which reflects his importance and education. He sits cross-legged on the ground, with his papyrus unrolled on his knees. Although much of the colour has been lost, we can still see the remains of it around the neck of the statue; however, it is the inlaid eyes that capture most people who see it. cairo egyptian museum-statue of Mitri as a Scribe-JE93165 a-painted wood; H. 76cm; 5th or 6th Dynasty, Old Kingdom; Saqqara; Ground Floor, Room 32
