The interesting thing about the scribe in this depiction is using his ear as a pencil holder, some thing I have seen my father doing when his two hands are busy.

Detail from the false door of Mery, Chief Scribe of the Royal Archives (circa 2550 BCE during the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom). He is depicted in raised relief with the tools of his profession. This piece is from his tomb in Saqqara, and is now in the Musée du Louvre (Louvre Museum), Paris, France.

Tomb of Queen Nefertari (QV66), was discovered in the Queen’s Valley by Ernesto Schiaparelli, Director of the Turin Museum, in 1904. Nefertari Mery-en-Mut, whose name means ‘most beautiful, beloved of the goddess Mut’, was the Great Royal Wife of Rameses II. Her tomb reflects the queen’s position in the eyes of her husband in the beauty of its construction, its vivid colours and unusual scenes, and the many favourable epitaphs which describe her beauty and her sweet and charming nature.
