This print showcases an extraordinary artifact from ancient Egypt, specifically the Old Kingdom period between 2400 BC and 2000 BC. The image captures a male figure known as an Egyptian Scribe, skillfully carved out of painted limestone. Currently housed in the renowned Egyptian Museum in Munich, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this fascinating country. The scribe is depicted sitting with his legs crossed, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of ancient Egyptian artistry. His posture exudes a sense of poise and concentration as he engages in his work. With vibrant colors adorning his attire, this artwork demonstrates the mastery of coloration techniques employed by artists during that era.

Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expertise behind capturing this image with such clarity, we are able to admire every intricate detail preserved on this historic relic even in the 21st century.
