Call no. 4098B.104 v26 (p. 34) Creator: Tupper, William Vaughn Description: Scrapbook page containing a photograph of a wooden statue from the Egyptian 5th Dynasty known as Cheik el Beled, annotated with quotes and information about the object. Subjects: Egyptian (ancient) statue Page size: 33 x 38.1 cm Annotations: "IVe Dynastie- decouverte de Mariette à Saggarah" Official Catalogue, Maspero. The figure was originally covered with a thin coating of plaster of Paris and painted. Cheikh El Beled "It is standing with a cane in its hand- the legs were missing and have been supplied of new wood. The eyes are inserted as is the case with many egyptian statues. They are formed of a piece of opaque white quartz set in bronze to represent the eyelid, a piece of crystal serves for the pupil and a little silver nail placed under the crystal produces the luminous sparkle of the living eye. By a strange chance the statue of this old egyptian could serve as an exact portrait of one of the cheikhs-el-beled ou maires of the village of Saggarah. Our workmen quick to see the resemblances immediately called it the Cheikh El Beled and the name has stuck to it. 'Ie Khâfri et le Cheik el Beled' are the best that most ancient art has bequeathed to the museum; only 'le scribe accroupi du Louvre' can compare with them"Maspero Since above was written a scribe much like that of the Louvre has been found and added to the museum.
