EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a detailed look at the ancient Egyptian kohl eye makeup and intricate hairstyle of Menna's wife or daughter, as depicted in the wall paintings of the Tomb of Menna. Dating back to the 18th Dynasty, this artwork offers a glimpse into the beauty rituals and fashion trends of this time period.
The use of kohl eye makeup was not only a cosmetic choice for ancient Egyptians but also held cultural significance. It was believed that wearing kohl could protect against evil spirits and ward off eye infections caused by the harsh desert environment. The meticulous application seen in this painting showcases the skill and artistry of ancient Egyptian cosmetics.
In addition to the eye makeup, attention is drawn to the elaborate hairstyle worn by Menna's female relative. Intricate braids and adornments were common among noblewomen in ancient Egypt, symbolizing their status and wealth. This particular hairstyle reflects both beauty ideals and social standing during this era.
As we admire this piece of history preserved on the walls of Menna's tomb in Thebes, Luxor, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage left behind by these ancient civilizations. Through images like these, we can appreciate not only the aesthetics but also gain insight into daily life and customs from centuries past.
