This Egyptian "Seated Scribe" is probably one of the best known antiquities from ancient Egypt owned by the Louvre.
He is made of painted limestone, and appears to be in an excellent state of preservation, 

considering that he dates from the 4th or 5th Dynasty, ca. 2600-2350 BC.
He is shown in the traditional seated posture of a scribe, who writes in hieroglyphics with a stylus on a clay tablet in his lap.

The Egyptian galleries in the Louvre have been enlarged and re-organized with some new displays in the past couple of years,
and occupy parts of two floors in the museum.
