Product Information

The Egyptians also manufactured many objects, from a material known as Egyptian faience. This is a quartz-based medium that could be shaped and moulded into small objects like statutes. These would be glazed with a range of minerals that would give the object colour although turquoise blue is the most common. Papyrus and ink As can be seen from the Tutankhamen funerary mask the Egyptians used gold and from other artefacts it is clear they also used silver. For the Egyptians gold was considered the flesh of the gods and silver the bones so was frequently found in religious artefacts. There are many examples of beautiful jewellery using a range of vibrant coloured enamels that look just as fresh today as when they were made. When recognized, Eryx colubrinus loveridgei is said to occur in the southern part of the range [3] and is described as being more orange in color.

Eryx colubrinus is found in North Africa from Egypt as far west as Niger (Aïr), including Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, and northern Tanzania. A single specimen has been reported from Yemen. The type locality given is "Ægypto". [2] Habitat [ edit ] Later, around the 1st century BCE in the Ptolemaic Period (323-30 BCE), some Egyptian artists developed a technique for painting mummy portraits using hot beeswax mixed with coloured pigments. The coloured wax was applied to the surface, generally wood. This method was called encaustic painting from the Greek enkaustikos meaning ‘to burn in’, because the heat was so important for this type of paint. A wax encaustic painting technique was described by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder in his Natural History from the 1st century CE. The oldest surviving encaustic panel paintings are the Romano-Egyptian Fayum mummy portraits from the 1st century BCE (Figure 5).

Shi et al (2023) proposed that E. colubrinus was the sister species to the Miocene fossil species E. linxiaensis from Gansu, China. This suggests repeat dispersal events of the genus from Africa to Eurasia during the Miocene. [12] Etymology [ edit ]Eryx colubrinus is most active at night, but may be irregularly active during the day. This species is fossorial and spends most of its time underground. During the hotter times of the year, E. colubrinus seeks refuge beneath stones and in the burrows of small mammals. [3] However, they have also been known to occasionally climb trees.

The Egyptian sand boa is heavily-built snake with a small head, small eyes, vertical pupils, and a short tail. Scale texture is extremely smooth, except on the tail, which is covered in bumps. Adult female specimens of G. colubrinus are rarely more than 91cm (3 feet) in total length (including tail). [3] The average Egyptian sand boa grows no longer than 12-24" (30-60cm) long, with males being significantly smaller than females. [5] The Egyptians also developed the use of a ‘ground’ to paint on. This consisted of a fine powder of white calcite mixed with gum arabic (a natural gum from two species of acacia trees). This development was probably due to the richness of minerals in Egypt which enhanced the range of pigments. The ancient Egyptian civilisation seems to be one of the first in which people used cosmetics to enhance their appearance. They used kohl for decorating eyes. Kohl was made by combining soot with the mineral galena (lead sulfide). There are a few ancient Egyptian paintings showing people wearing green eye makeup. This could have been made by mixing malachite (copper (II) carbonate) with galena. The ancient Egyptians believed that applying kohl protected the wearer from evil, perhaps because they had realised that the substance had the potential to prevent or or cure some eye diseases. Reliefs and drawing techniques Eryx colubrinus is ovoviviparous. [8] In captivity, it breeds readily November through April in the United States, delivering live birth averaging 10-20 babies born spring through late summer. [9] The young at birth typically are 20–25cm (8-10 inches) in length. [3] Taxonomy [ edit ] Yellow is a bright and cheerful colour that brings warmth and energy to any interior space.
