The bronze base of this figure is ancient and the hieroglyphic inscription asks the god Heka for all life, health and joy for one scribe of the library of Atum Pa-kap. However, the statuette above the ankles, including the belt inscribed in hieratic, is of brass, an alloy which was not used for metal statuary in pharaonic or Ptolemaic Egypt, and is certainly modern.
