I've seen a few pictures made by A. Egyptians that represent Kushites but not the other way around. Wondering if anyone here has seen/have Kushite art depicting A. Egyptians

According to the scholar S. Moser below, the Greeks were well aware that some Egyptians possessed so-called 'negroid' features and depicted them with such features. Will check on Ethiopian depictions. ---------------------------------------------------------------- "In figure 2.9, which shows a Persian warrior with raised hands, we see how dress is used to distinguish foreigners from Greeks. Not only is he wearing trousers as opposed to the Greek toga, but the spots on his garment resemble those seen on animal skins. The depiction of Egyptians in the painting of Heracles fighting Busiris' servants (figure 2.1) provides another example of how cultural difference was visually presented. Physical traits are used to distinguish foreigners, in this case the negroid features, baldness and circumcision of the Egyptians. Ethiopians are depicted with exaggerated facial characteristics and distinctive afro-style hair, as in figure 2.10 showing Memnon and his squire Amasis." --Stephanie Moser. 1998. Ancestral Images: The Iconography of Human Origins. 37-38  --------------------------------------------------------- Stephanie Moser is a Professor at the University of Southampton, secialising in archaeological representation, with a research focus on the construction of knowledge about the past and its reception through visual images, museum displays, exhibitions and art. She is the author of Ancestral Images (Cornell University Press), Wondrous Curiosities (Chicago University Press), and Designing Antiquity (Yale University Press), all which seek to outline the two-way knowledge exchange between academic knowledge and visual representations of the past. |

I can't find ANY art that depicts Egyptians. All that comes up is Egyptian art of Kushites and other southern groups. This is turning out a lot harder than I originally thought..

Wouldn't the Narmer bust and the Scorpion King image count? If we are going to stretch reality to include the term Nubian in historical context then we might as well continue the narrative of the first Kings not being Nubian thus the Narmer bust and the Scorpion King image are Egyptian images created in "Nubian" land.
