[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [QB] Since this conversation got started over color conventions in ancient Egyptian art, I wonder what posters here make of various quilts from Dahomey, wherein the Dahomeans portray themselves as a lighter, more reddish color than other West Africans (who are jet black). [IMG]http://lh5.ggpht.com/-tqZSLXpi-4k/UaXXeAPLtUI/AAAAAAAALMk/MILPeQljNf4/s1600/fon6%25255B3%25255D.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/28/ba/1e/28ba1e2b369f1b4f7da5b2aa529ef160.jpg[/IMG] I am not aware of any evidence that the people of Dahomey really would have had reddish skin lighter than that of other West Africans. It's an artistic convention that I presume came out to distinguish themselves from other African groups. Who's to say ancient Egyptian artists weren't doing the same thing in their paintings?
