Maybe those made with small beads, but don't remember seeing any of the top image type as Ancient Kemites artifacts even if it looks more like the Medu Neter carving.

The bands on the face hieroglyph's neck remind me of South African Ndebele neck rings:
Or, alternatively, Omotic necklaces:
You think some Egyptians may have worn similar jewelry?
Actually the glyph shows a man's face sporting a BEARD on his chin not bangles around his neck.

This portrait is either of the goddess Anuket or a Kushite Queen who, if the latter, I've never seen wear such a crown. The goddess Anuket is the matron of Semna in the first cataract and a Nile goddess. Her headdress is believed by many scholars to be of Nubian origin.

More hieroglyphs for a man's face as first posted by Amun Ra.
Interesting how the face displays wides nostrils and full lips that are very "negroid" and unlike the ideal 'cacasoid' appearance of Euronuts. Whatever.

^ Considering that those hieroglyphs probably represent what the Egyptians considered "average" for their population better than individuals' portraits, I'm surprised people don't cite them more often in race debates.

I added descriptions.
As said in the other thread those are Medu Neter (Hieroglyph in Ancient Greek) "alphabet" symbols. They are the Ideogram for the word Hr “face.” Phonogram Hr.
