Upper part of a figure of a seated official
Middle Kingdom
Not on view
This sculpture preserves the torso and head of an official. The position of the arms and the tilt of the head and back indicate that he would have been seated, perhaps cross-legged on the ground, with his hands resting on his lap in the pose of a scribe. The features of the face are beautifully rendered; the serene expression and the well-muscled torso give an impression of youth.
