Description

Egyptian Lady with Mirror. Cleanliness and personal appearance were highly regarded by the ancient Egyptians. Red ochre dissolved in fat and gum resin was applied to cheeks and lips and kohl was applied to the eyes. Kohl was also used to protect the eyes from the glare of the sun and from disease bearing insects. Many Egyptians shaved their heads and wore wigs as real hair was prone to lice. Egyptians bathed many times a day and covered themselves in ungeants and oils. Many wore wax cones upon their heads which as they melted released pleasant scents.
