SEATED SCRIBE

To me the sculpture of the seated scribe shows how important the scribes person was in the villiage and town. Only those who were truly respected amongst the town had sculptures created of them. The man in the villiage who could write and scribe was a man of high class and great respect, and therefore this sculpture was modeled after him.

  1. I'm still stunned that everyone couldn't read and write. It is the complete opposite of how you would picture the situation. The upper class couldn't read or write and lower class could.

  2. I think it's pretty interesting that there were few people who could read and write in those days. Makes me think, how many men were there to write about all of these stories that we hear today?

  3. I love that this scribe has such an intent look. It makes me think that he was likely an attentive worker and paid attention to what he was hearing.
