[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/a2/3f/qdvAMBue_o.png[/IMG] Inner front side of the sarcophagus of Aashyet (facsimile by Charles K. Wilkinson) [QUOTE]Another aspect of Aashyet’s identity that scholars frequently debate is whether or not she and the other people on this sarcophagus are Nubians. The argument that they are Nubian is typically that Aashyet, as well as two other women identified as Medjay, are painted with black skin and short curly hair in contrast to other women depicted with the traditional yellow-painted skin and long black hair. ~ Discerning Ancient Identity: The Case of Aashyet’s Sarcophagus (JE 47267) Kate Liszka [/QUOTE]I notice that above she is painted very dark brown instead of the jet black of the two medjay women to the right. I can see her ear and hairline Although she she is painted jet black according to a similar facsimile from a different side of the same sarcophagus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashayet#/media/File:Facsimile_of_the_painting_on_the_inner_back_side_of_the_sarcophagus_of_Aashyt_MET_DT232303.jpg I don't know if this is of any relevance [/QB][/QUOTE]
