Adornment of the body is a personal statement.\u00a0 <\/span>It demonstrates affiliation and illustrates status. This day school will consider how and why the Ancient Egyptians decorated their bodies. Why the Egyptians depicted themselves wearing false beards and bulls\u2019 tails will be considered, alongside the significance and placement of tattoos; this includes new research and evidence. The importance of hair, hairstyles and wigs will be examined, for men and women, as will the changing fashions which the Egyptians donned. Both physical evidence and artistic representations will be considered.<\/p>\n
