Text Appearing Before Image:
ing the latter period ofGreek domination we have no satisfactory authority. Winkelman describes some figures whichhe asserts were made by Egyptian sculptors under the dominion of the Greeks, who introducedinto Egypt their gods as well as their arts; while, on the other hand, the Greeks adopted Egyptianusages. But from these mutilated remains of Greco-Egyptian workmanship we are unable toascertain how far the Egyptians generally adopted the costume of their conquerors, or the con-querors themselves assumed that of the vanquished. In the work on Egyptian Antiquities pub-lished in the Library of Entertaining Knowledge, the few facts bearing upon this subject havebeen assembled, and the minutest details of the more ancient Egyptian costume wUl be found inthe admirable works of Sir G. Wilkinson : but it would be worse than useless for us to enter hereinto a long description of the costume of the Pharaohs, unless we could assert how much, if anypart of it, was retained by the Ptolemies. 277
