This masterpiece, belonging to the 4th or 5th Dynasty, is a testament to the Egyptians' reverence for knowledge and their remarkable skill in sculpture.

His serene expression and posture convey a sense of deep concentration, reflecting the importance of literacy and record-keeping in ancient Egyptian society.
