ABSTRACT
The excavations undertaken by M. de Morgan in northern part of necropolis of Saqqarah have recently brought to light a mastaba in fine white stone, near tomb of Sabou. The new scribe was crouching in front of the second stele. Morgan measures in height almost the same as his colleague in the Louvre, and sufficiently resembles him to permit both being described in almost similar terms. This shows the habit of the individual, and is not a question of age, for a glance at the two statues shows that the Gizeh scribe is younger than his colleague of the Louvre. It might also be that Pharaoh, desiring to reward services rendered him by someone in his entourage. It is of the style of the statues of Ti and of Rnofir, especially of the last two. The statue in the Boulaq Museum lacks the high dignity. It is so heavy, so expressionless, that it almost seems to be another Egyptian.
