~ Bundle of Hair Extensions.

Date: ca. 2114-1502 B.C.

Period: Old Kingdom-early New Kingdom; 16th-18th Dynasty

Medium: Human hair, linen

▪︎ From the source: These hair extensions would have been placed in a tomb for use in the afterlife. In this world, Egyptians used extensions to make their wigs or natural hair thicker and more attractive, just as people do today. The reliefs in this case show hairdressers adding extensions like these to the hair or wig of Queen Neferu.

Albrecht Dürer, A Young Hare, 1502

Herbert Bayer, "In the meantime while the tortoise came jogging on with a slow but continued pace, and the hare out of too great a security and confidence of victory overslept herself, the tortoise arrived at the end of the race first." --Aesop, 550 B.C., ca. 1962
