head figured Plate X,, Pig. 6, has the same 'gfefiferâlf form
and cast of features.
, The Hindoos are also represented on the monuments as prisoners and- fributèMséa-rers
to the kings. My drawing, Plate XIV., Fig. 21, is copied from the'«“ Grand Procession”
of Thotmes IV. The man leads a bear; an indication -that he ia'of a' foreign coun1?i§h
for there are no bears indigenous.to Africa. Moreover, the characters of the animat,''ip
delineated in llosollini, are not unlike those of the celebrated grotesque spècies%f^îndfa,
called by naturalists JJrsu's labiatus, which has been, in all ages, A favourite with
mountebanks. The man himself has an aquiline and pointed.nose, thin beard,
forehead, and comparatively fair complexion, which assimilate him to some MTo-Se’n h iS
or Indo-Persian tribe.
In the same celebrated scene I notice anotherhead of the same.,generah'Csst, but of%'
darker complexion and'THbre delicate features, who answers v ë tm o re f^ ^ fa te îy fo j&î
type .of the northern Hindoos. He wears a light dres»,and;grass
hat, and moreover leads an 'elephant, all of^wbicm point to a
warm'climate. “Mr. Hoskins remarks that “ the' eiepbant must
be from Ethiopia: if therefore, they [the attendants]. a re
fhians, as some suppose, they must be employed as slaves, brjngé
ing the produce of Ethiopia ” And/he concludes by suggesting
that they may be white slaves of the latteyYouniry, .sent as a
present to the Egyptian king. . This appears to ’.mSytç Jbe/an
involved and unsatisfactory explanation. T.he elephant, like the
bear, is obviously an Asiatic animal,'{for the Egyptians made, up
use of the living native species,) and it is evident that this group is merely typical of
some conquered Hindoo nation, or proximate'abd cognate tribe.
