Djehuti https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/3941
Limestone statue of Djehuti represented as a scribe, seated with his legs folded under him. Djehuti wears a short kilt and the equipment of a scribe, which is represented in relief as if it were slung over his shoulder. Incised lines indicate the folds of skin on his abdomen. On his lap he holds a partially unrolled papyrus with plain incised and modified sunk relief hieroglyphs. The plinth on which he sits is rounded. Hieroglyphs appear on the top front of the plinth and on the front of the plinth. The hieroglyphs on the front are more crudely done than those on the rest of the figure.

Waterspout in the Shape of a Lion https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/44922
Sculptor's model of a head of a lion used as a gargoyle. The lion's head rests against a flat wall. Two roughly modeled feet stretch out below enclosing a trough. The modeling is fine and the piece is in excellent condition. This was evidently intended as a model of an architectural detail. This motif was used in Egyptian architecture as early as the ancient kingdom although this piece doubtless is not earlier than the Saite age and is probably later. Condition: One large chip on the left mane and a few chips on the back panel.
