Actually the style of clothes worn by many Berber women seem to show a much stronger influence from the Roman era style of dress than what is shown in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Actually, I've never seen the Egyptians depicting Lybian women. Only the men. But in Rome, the women would drape the cloth and fold it over at the top and attach it at the shoulders with pins. This style is still worn in Tunisia and other parts of North Africa. The picture of the three Nailiat in Busada in Algeria, (second from last) had a very elaborate style of dress which was distinly their own variation. Love the head dresses.
Here's a video that shows the Greek version. The Roman rquivalent was called a stola, but you can see the similarity with the Bereber dresses:
What seems to have survived from pre Roman times are the tatoos. Many Berber women from the various nations still tatoo the face, lips and other parts of the body in designs similar to those drawn in the pictures.

I've never seen facial tatoos on men. With regards to dress styles of men.... I'm not sure. Romans basically wore a simple tunic, but then again, most people around the world did too. The basic style of men's dress I see in North Africa is the jlaba. Usually they don't have any sleeves, so I don't see any Roman equivalents, but I could be wrong. The women's dress stands out much stronger because of the way the material is folded and pinned at the shoulders. This is especially true of Tunisian style dress. Although these days I see that most people prefer to simply sew the shoulders rather than pinning them. |
