There was a degree of regimentation in Egyptian sculpture those days. Each workman was required to have a level of expertise that many could achieve, but was not allowed to be creative. There was little of individual whim, in contrast to the builders of the gothic cathedrals, where creativity was the goal even if workmanship was somewhat questionable.
