Scribe statuette, Ptolemaic Period, 332–30 B.C., From Egypt, Leaded bronze, h. 6 cm (2 3/8 in); w. 3.8 cm (1 1/2 in), This is an unusual statuette of a scribe. The features indicate a quite late date - a time when seated scribal statues have gone out of vogue. Preserved on the lap is an inlaid inscription that reads from the direction of the sitter, but only the first word 'scribe' is clear
