Paragraph 6
The prince is represented in a scribe's pose but without a
scribe's tools. The prince is not actually doing anything. He
merely sits. The absence of any open spaces (for example,
between the elbows and the waist) contributes to the figure's
composure or self-containment. But if he sits, he sits
attentively; there is nothing static here. The slight upward tilt
of the head and the suggestion of an upward gaze of the
eyes give the impression that the alert prince is attending
someone else, perhaps his father the king. The suggestion in
the statue is one of imminent work rather then of work in
progress.
