Egyptian Queen's Hair Being Glammed Up



Kemsit, Nubian Queen of Kemet Pharaoh Mentuhotep II
(2061-2010 B.C.)

Here you see Queen Kemsit having her hair beautified by her
servants.  The painting is from her tomb chamber wall -
Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.

Queen Kemsit is probably wearing a wig which was popular
during that era.
