Chapter Title: A double-sided glass relief pinhead from ancient Colchis – the Pichvnari ‘Heracles’Chapter Author(s): Sujatha ChandrasekaranBook Title: Wonders Lost and Found: A Celebration of the Archaeological Work of Professor Michael Vickers
Book Editor(s): Nicholas Sekunda
Published by: Archaeopress

quote:
Overall analysis – male and female depictions All double-sided relief ornaments of glass depict items depicting females,13 mainly in a form recalling Astarte, with her characteristic thick hair falling to the shoulders and framing her rounded face.14 Male depictions – distinctly fewer in number – show an adult bearded man in most cases and occasionally a beardless youth, sometimes with clearly negroid features.15 In one case, on a specimen from Elizavetovskoye Gorodishche, we even find both a bearded adult male on one side and a beardless youth on the other (see Kopylov 2006: fig. 1 no. 10).portrait faces in frontal view, with most known no. 10)

That is a great finding right there. For the longest whites have tried to use the reference to the Colchis as a way to deAfricanize the ancient iKami. With this source that directly references a Negroid element in the Colchis, we can say with the long noted Negroid strain in Kemet that Negroid is the common element. Linguistic evidence pointed out by Ausar Imhotep and Mboli further point to an early African intrusion into those Asian lands.

There are not so many representations of people from Colchis. But we have some coins
