REPLICA Egyptian Nubian Statue 3" Cast Resin
The ancient Greek historian, Herodotus, described the hair of the ancient Egyptians, as woolly
using the term (οὐλότριχες), ulotrichous which means woolly or crisp hair.
The root word, οὐλό, also has been used by Greeks to also describe the hair of Ethiopians,
or black Africans
Throughout their history, ancient Egyptians made tools and hairstyles
that would have unlikely to come into existence if they did not anything in common with black Africans.
Even to this day black Northeast Africans wear similar hairstyles to the Egyptians of long ago.
Long corkscrew curls are worn, sometimes with the ends made into miniature dreadlocks.
These alterations to the hair actually bear resemblance to afro-textured hair and aesthetics found in other black African cultures.
We can even see many of these similar alterations and styles in modern-day black Africans that inhabit Northeast Africa, such the Afar.
This type of statue was the most commonly
used in temples typically as funerary monuments of non-royal yet important individuals.
