[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] Ancient Kemite art, like most African art, are not made to be realistic but more abstract. The majority of African art pieces are more about symbolism than realism. Often displaying youthfulness and vitality, respect to artistic tradition and convention. We can't look at an art piece and say: "those people looks like this". They are only an artistic depictions of those people and their environment. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yet even idealistic portrayals are based on reality which is why even if the features don't exactly match those of the actual person that doesn't mean such features in and of themselves are not realistic. I'm not saying these reserve heads are exact likenesses of the persons they portray, but it's not like their features are somehow unrealistic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
