The Inlaid Eye of the Seated Scribe: A Marvel of Ancient Egyptian Craftsmanship
The Seated Scribe, an iconic piece of ancient Egyptian art dating back to the Old Kingdom (circa 2600-2350 BCE), stands as one of the finest examples of Egyptian sculpture. While much of its allure lies in its realistic portrayal of a scribe in mid-action, one of its most remarkable features is the inlaid eye. Crafted from red-veined white magnesite and rock crystal, the eye is an extraordinary example of the intricate artistry and technical prowess achieved by ancient Egyptian craftsmen. This detailed feature not only enhances the lifelike quality of the figure but also offers a glimpse into the sophisticated artistic methods employed by ancient Egyptian sculptors.

Carved stone beads from Zimbabwe
I was born and raised in Rhodesia in 1959, fought in the civil war from 1977 to 1980 when it changed to Zimbabwe. I emigrated to the U.S. , met and married my wife and settled into my new life. It was in 1993 when I realized that time was flying past at a frightening speed and I realized that I hadn’t been back to Africa or seen my family for 13 years. So I spoke to my wife, and we decided to go visit them and search for African trade beads while we were there. After all, that was my wife’s business.Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Stories hold great importance in our lives. As we grew up listening to tales related to Diwali, we felt a sense of pride.
