Sobre IBD

The ancient Egyptians believed physical appearance reflected spiritual purity, which is why both men and women invested heavily in cosmetics, perfumes, and grooming rituals. Used by all social classes, substances like scented oils, eye paint, and ointments served both aesthetic and healing purposes. Hair care, including dyes and wigs, was equally important. Items such as mirrors, combs, and ornate cosmetic containers show the sophistication of their personal care practices. Deeply linked to notions of health and divinity, these rituals continue to inspire modern beauty standards.Foreword by: Rosalie DavidEmerita Professor of EgyptologyThe University of Manchester (UK)Emeritus Professor of Egyptology at the University of Manchester.Founding Director of the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology.
