Perfume
The Dancer
Music and dancing were apart of every major event, whether it was a gathering of the harvest or the feast of Eternity for a departed one. During the Old Kingdom, the dances were stylized with only occasional acrobatics. The beat was set by clapping hands. By the time of the New Kingdom, dancers threw balls, beat on tambourines, clicked castanets, and did high jumps and complicated acrobatics. Many dancers wore perfume made of lotus flowers and wore beautiful gowns you can see on this fresco.
