Look at the top statuette head. That sculpture is about 4" tall. You can't tell what her hair is doing because as we can see from the head band she's wearing a headress or wig of somekind. As per features and skin tone she appears to be a "black" African. Now look at the mummy. which do you think is true: a) she was a black woman with straight hair b) she wasn't a black woman c) she was a black woman who used chemicals or combing techniques to straigten her afro when she was alive d) she was a black woman with an afro but the chemicals used in the mummification process straightened her hair ______________________________ In looking at choice d) that she had an afro and it was mummification chemicals that straightened her hair I'm looking at this mummy and trying to imagine that hair in afro form. She seem to be balding a little in the front. Regardless there is a lot of hair on that mummy. It seems that if she had that hair as an afro it would be huge like Angela Davis: [IMG]http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l16votFZzn1qaexg6o1_400.jpg[/IMG] I suppose it could have been a braided style if it was an afro.

And if she had this big Angela Davis size fro how could she wear the headresses? I don't know what is going on here. Of the above choices a,b, c,d what do you think is most likely?
