for the ask: faras 👄

👄 What is your OC’s smile like? Is it bright and wide, or thin and reserved? Does your OC wear any lipgloss or lipstick? Do they chew their lips?

Oohhh I haven’t drawn him in so very long! This arrogant asshole does not do a lot of smiling, especially not after what happened to his poor, poor half brother, but when he does, he’s being a smug piece of shit :D

Jar with Elephant Etching

This jar with etchings of an elephant, fish and a bird is from 3500–3000 BC Nubia, now Sudan. It was found in a grave in an excavation site in Faras.

Contemporary with the Predynastic Period in Egypt, a comparable culture emerged in Lower Nubia around 3800 BC known to archaeologists as the ‘A-Group’. Objects found in early graves here reflected the close connections between the two regions.

Similar to Egyptian wares, distinctive types of pottery decorated with animals of the river and desert, as well as of humans and boats, reflected the importance of the Nile landscape to Nubian culture.

The style of the elephant etching suggests that it was drawn after firing, indicating that it was made by the eventual owner of the pot, rather than the potter. It also hints at the presence of elephants in the region, suggesting a greener Nile Valley that would have once been inhabited by the species.
