The annexed outlines, which present more pleasing examples of the same ethnographic character, are copied from the tomb of Titi, at Thebes, and date with the remote era of Thotmes IV.[35] They represent five _fowlers_ in the act of drawing their net over a flock of birds. The long, flowing hair is in keeping with the facial traits, which latter are also well characterized in the subjoined drawings, derived from monuments of different epochs and localities. [Illustration: 1. 2. 3. 4. ] Fig. 1, is the head of a _weaver_, from the paintings in the very ancient tomb of Roti and Menoph at Beni-Hassan, wherein the same cast of countenance is reiterated without number.[36] Fig. 2, a _wine-presser_, is also from Beni-Hassan, and dates with Osortasen, more than 2000 years before the Christian era.[37] Fig. 3, is a _cook_, who in the tomb of Rameses the Fourth, at Thebes, is represented with many others in the active duties of his vocation.[38] Fig. 4. I have selected this head as an exaggerated or caricatured illustration of the same type of physiognomy. It is one of the _goat-herds_ painted in the tomb of Roti, at Beni-Hassan.[39] The most recent of these last four venerable monuments of art, dates at least 1450 years before our era: the oldest belongs to unchronicled times; and the same physical characters are common on the Nubian and Egyptian monuments down to the Ptolemaic and Roman epochs. The peculiar head-dress of the Egyptians often greatly modifies and in some degree conceals their characteristic features; and may at first sight lead to the impression that the priests possessed a physiognomy of a distinct or peculiar kind. Such, however, was not the case, as a little observation will prove. Take, for example, the three following drawings from a Theban tomb, in which two mourners have head-dresses and two priests are without them. Are not the national characteristics unequivocally manifest in them all?[40] [Illustration] [Illustration] In addition to the copious remarks already made in reference to the hair, we cannot omit the annexed picture from a tomb in Thebes, which represents an Egyptian woman in the act of lamentation before the embalmed body of a relative, while the long, black hair reaches even below the waist.[41]
