This is the first time I see this statue in color. It is alwyas in B&W in books. If memory serves me , he is some scribe or someone important but not royalty. Thanks for sharing.

WOW! Fantastic capture! I love the manner in which you've caught the age and the textures of this magnificent statue. Looks like Kaaper was an important man in Ancient Egypt...he was well fed! Fantastic work, wonderful sensitivity!
