[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I wrote that piece a few years ago and now don't have the index cards noting who drew the Isis analogy or why. Probably, as you said, it resulted from pro-Egypt diffusionists from back in the day before the "Bird Lady" paintings were disclosed as fraudulent. The scarification pattern most closely matched that of what I've seen on Chadic female bodies hence my call on a Chadic feel. I can't articulate what about the entire scene (which isn't in the cheezy image I had no choice but to use) culturally resembles which cenral/east African ethny. I never given any thought to similarity of Saharan and Kemitic art because frankly I don't see any. I'm very interested in your opinions about this painting and hope you get to look at a quality repro. Also what do propose in answer to your last two questions? [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gedegbe: [qb] Could you please tell us who identified this character with Isis and why? Did the people who advocated this identification claim this as being the result of the bogus early theory of influence of Egypt and Eurasia on Saharan Art or the other way around? Also, I am not very knowledgeable about modern "Chadic" culture...What in the painting made you think it looks "Chadic"? Did you identify other cultural traits from specific to other recent Ethnic/Linguistic groups as well? What do you think about the relevance of the comparatism between Kemetic and Saharan Art?
