Nubian Archers
Provincial governors used to recruit troops of soldiers in time of trouble. Thus, we find models of different companies of soldiers accompanying Mesehti, Prince of Assiut, in his grave. This group consists of forty Nubian archers in their finest attire and armor with bows and arrows. The sculptor made use of changes in facial expressions and colorful costumes, in contrast to their dark bodies, to give a realistic effect.
