ABSTRACT
Rnofir's statue was found at Saqqarah. The statue of the kneeling scribe figures in a group of Mariette's work, Album du Muse de Boulaq and study of the inscriptions on the base of the monument leaves no doubt as to the epoch to which it belongs. The Boulaq Museum possesses a second statue of the same person but of a less fine execution than the statue. Rnofir evidently lived under the Ancient Empire and of reconstituting in part the work of one of the masters of which the tombs of Memphis have preserved the various productions. The expression is borrowed from a letter of the Papyrus Anastasis. The execution is very careful: unfortunately the limestone in which the scribe is cut was too soft, and it is worn away in places. His titles bring him near the Vth Dynasty. In short, it is an estimable work of a conscientious sculptor who thoroughly understood his vocation.
