ceremonial wig

 


Sobre peinados en el antiguo egipto, aqui tenemos esta foto del metmuseum con todos los anillos que se encontraron en la tumba de Sithathoryunet. Estaban en unas cajas de madera junto con pelucas.
Con el paso del tiempo las cajas de madera y las pelucas estaban deterioradas pero si se conservaban los anillos.

Two boxes in the jewelry niche of Sithathoryunet's tomb seem to have held her ceremonial wigs. The wooden boxes and hair had completely decomposed, but 1,251 gold rings in two sizes that had decorated one of the wigs were preserved. They have been placed on a modern wig in an arrangement suggested by a wooden head that the Metropolitan Museum excavated at Lisht, another Middle Kingdom royal cemetery. A gold crown and a pectoral with the name of Amenemhat III, both in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, were packed in the same box with the ornamented wig.
Period: Middle Kingdom
Dynasty: Dynasty 12
