About the Work
Brooklyn Museum Object Description
Kneeling figures grinding grain. Inscribed for a man names S3-3st. The figure wears a double wig; the facial features are those found in sculpture during the reign of Amenhotep III. Inscriptions are to be found on the body and grinder.
Condition: Right hand missing; part of chest missing; part of surface also missing on right thigh and lap; also right shoulder. Large cracks in wig.
The subject of this unusual statuette, the royal scribe Sa-ese, kneels in front of a grinding stone. When complete, the figure would have shown him, with extended arms, in the act of grinding grain. This statuette belongs to a small group of sculptures that served as elaborate funerary figures or shabtis.
