The on-site overseer carried a measuring rod (\u003cem\u003ekhet\u003c\/em\u003e) — usually one royal cubit long with finger and palm divisions — and used it to check block dimensions, ramp grade, and team-row spacing. He wore a longer ankle-length kilt to mark his rank, sometimes a short shoulder-cape, and held the rod vertical when watching the work and horizontal when measuring. This figure stands at the work-line edge with rod planted, head turned slightly — the lived posture of supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePainting tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin: warm bronze-brown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKilt: white linen, slightly cleaner than a labourer (this man does not haul).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod: warm hardwood with darker measure marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional: a small kohl line at the eyes for an aristocratic touch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistorical sources \u0026amp; further reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Kingdom administrative titles (imy-r, tjati)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal cubit-rod finds (Maya cubit, Turin Museum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e⚠ Small parts.
