Seated male scribe, 2450 BC. It's in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo - and in the video compilation on Matilda's Anthropology Blog.
More faces - and heated discussion about the racial composition of early Egyptian society - here. (I haven't read much of the discussion - it's the visuals I'm interested in - but did see the words "clearly demonstrates", which should always be read as a warning that the "facts" they refer to have been carefully chosen.)
