  Higher Classes

Introduction
        The Ancient Egyptian civilization was
         concentrated in the lower regions of the
         Nile Valley. It coalesced in 3150 B.C, its
         history is divided by periods of relativity
         into 3 main Kingdoms called the
            Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age
            Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age
            New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age

        The Egyptian people were an extremely
         advanced civilization with a very evolved
         cultural and economic system.
        Among their many achievements were the
         early development of the writing technique,
         quarrying, construction and a very good
         administrative system.
The Textiles

        In Ancient Egypt
         the textile most
         commonly used
         was linen or flax.

        Wool and silk
         were also known
         but were
         prohibited for use
         except in coats or
         cloaks, as animal
         fibers were
         considered
         impure.
Class Distinction
   The Egyptian costume was
    much scantier than that of
    Assyria and Babylon.

   The wearing of clothes was a
    kind of class distinction.

   The lower classes and slaves of
    the palace went about almost if
    not completely naked.

   The royal costume differed from
    others as it was of a much finer
    material and with embroidered
    belts and collars.



                                   Female servants who are naked save a gold girdle dressing a
                                   lady of higher social standing who is covered from chest to
                                   ankle.
The Pharaohs

       During the Old
        Kingdom the
        characteristic
        garment was the
        schenti or loin-
        cloth.

       This garment was
        very stiff and
        pleated for the
        royals.

       Often it was held
        in place by a belt.
   Under the New
    Kingdom the
    Pharaohs also
    wore a long
    fringed tunic
    called kalasiris.

   This tunic was
    semi-transparent
    allowing the loin-
    cloth to be seen
    underneath.
The Royal Women

       The royal women
        would also wear the
        kalasiris which in the
        case of women would
        be woven in one piece.

       Another garment was
        the haik which were 2
        rectangular pieces of
        cloth stiched at the
        sides and with a small
        opening for the neck.

       The sleeves of the haik
        would be tied back by
        suspenders attached to
        the shoulders. The
        suspenders would then
        be secured around the
        waist etc.
   Often the women’s
    chests would be
    exposed in the
    garment which
    consisted of a long
    tubular dress with
    thin shoulder
    straps.

   They would cover
    up their top with
    either elaborate
    jewel collars and
    shawls or capes.

  • 1. Ancient Egyptian Clothing of the Higher Classes By – Geetika Agarwal
  • 2. Introduction  The Ancient Egyptian civilization was concentrated in the lower regions of the Nile Valley. It coalesced in 3150 B.C, its history is divided by periods of relativity into 3 main Kingdoms called the  Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age  Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age  New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age  The Egyptian people were an extremely advanced civilization with a very evolved cultural and economic system.  Among their many achievements were the early development of the writing technique, quarrying, construction and a very good administrative system.
  • 3. The Textiles  In Ancient Egypt the textile most commonly used was linen or flax.  Wool and silk were also known but were prohibited for use except in coats or cloaks, as animal fibers were considered impure.
  • 4. Class Distinction  The Egyptian costume was much scantier than that of Assyria and Babylon.  The wearing of clothes was a kind of class distinction.  The lower classes and slaves of the palace went about almost if not completely naked.  The royal costume differed from others as it was of a much finer material and with embroidered belts and collars. Female servants who are naked save a gold girdle dressing a lady of higher social standing who is covered from chest to ankle.
  • 5. The Pharaohs  During the Old Kingdom the characteristic garment was the schenti or loin- cloth.  This garment was very stiff and pleated for the royals.  Often it was held in place by a belt.
  • 6. Under the New Kingdom the Pharaohs also wore a long fringed tunic called kalasiris.  This tunic was semi-transparent allowing the loin- cloth to be seen underneath.
  • 7. The Royal Women  The royal women would also wear the kalasiris which in the case of women would be woven in one piece.  Another garment was the haik which were 2 rectangular pieces of cloth stiched at the sides and with a small opening for the neck.  The sleeves of the haik would be tied back by suspenders attached to the shoulders. The suspenders would then be secured around the waist etc.
  • 8. Often the women’s chests would be exposed in the garment which consisted of a long tubular dress with thin shoulder straps.  They would cover up their top with either elaborate jewel collars and shawls or capes.
