English Abstract

Due to the long time of interaction between Egypt and Kush, we can notice that the Kushite royal costumes reveal the Egyptian influences.

The costumes of the Kushite kings had been characterized by mingled and overlapped style, it showed up various types of crowns, ornaments, and clothing.

Kushite costumes were distinguished from Kushite ethnic features, besides the traditional Egyptian.

This paper deals, with the interconnections between the Egyptian and Kushite costumes during the Twenty-fifth Dynasty.

Did the Kushite adopt all the costumes and designs of Egyptians without adding their own Nubian identity? On the other hand, they may have adopted a new style that combines two identities the Egyptian and Kushite, attempting to appease the Egyptians, as well as the Kushite, The article concludes that, Kushite did not imitate Egyptian art director or excessive, but rather they could join between the Egyptian custom and Kushite character.
