Onward and Upward - Carthaginian reenacting

[Lessa]

Hi Jeroen


as you can see in thipicture of funerial mask from Tharros, Sardinia, noserings and earrings where commons in punic society.
I saw a identic mask also in Palermo, Sicily.

Not 100% convinced it was wide spread ,It was known in the middle east, so perhaps amongst Priests & some Conservative upper class elements , & what could the other lines be ,ritual scarring or tattoo . the cartho's were very much a society divided between the old conservatives & the new men ,with alot of styles of clothing ,Hair & habits adopted from the Greeks coming more popular as time went on & the Punic coin images show a more Heroic Hellenistic style . :?

I would look heaps scary with my hoops in & Maori Face happening 8) . I feel if it was common the Romans & Greeks (those from Sicily in particular ) would have mentioned it as another example of the Barbarian

another example.
