[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Another ancient Libyan [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/7gbwC2K/Libyan-prisoner-reign-of-Ramsess-III-BM-EA12334.jpg[/IMG] Tile with Libyan prisoner from the time of Ramses III, from Lower Egypt: Nile Delta: Tell el-Yahudiya. Housed in British Museum [QUOTE] Part of a polychrome glazed composition tile bearing a relief representation of the head and upper body of a Libyan prisoner with a pointed beard, side-lock and bound hands (one lost). The rest of the hair and the lower half of the body are missing. The face and right arm are yellow-beige in colour, but the left arm is coated with a layer of white. The eye is outlined in black. The groove on the right side of the neck likely held an ornamental body strap. The head and body were composed of separate pieces, joined at the base of the neck. There are many traces of bright blue faience on the top layer of the base, which probably originally formed a blue background to the figure. The back of the tile is very flat with a smooth finish. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] This tile was one of many found in the remains of the palace of Ramses III at Tell el-Yahudiya. These tiles arguably display a greater variety of pose, scale, and detail than their counterparts from Medinet Habu, the mortuary temple of Ramses III, and include some of Egypt's most accomplished works from this final era of polychrome glazed composition.
