the photo on this page wikipedia commons Keftiu page is misleading in my opinion. There are many scenes in other Egyptian art where there are people of an ethnic group and a heiroglyph next to them labeling who they are. But not here. The picture is not a Keftiu. It is a Syrian type repeated nine times and under each Syrian type is a cartouche of one of the Nine Bows. Here the Egyptians used a Syrian type to represent a generic foreign type. Anybody looking at this Commons entry would think the picture is of a Keftiu. It is not. Keftiu in Egyptian art have no beards and they have hair that hangs down into several separate curls. They have a thinner head band and excess parts of it don't hang down in two pieces like the thicker Syrian headband shown here. The only thing Keftiu about this detail photo at Abydos is the cartouche. In my opinion only the cartouche should be shown not the figure. It shoild be cropped
If you show the figure above it and don't explain the rest of the scene or don't show the photo of the complete scene people will get confused. here is a vreion of the cartouche only: http://www.ephotobay.com/share/picture-35-2.html I don't know how to change the Commons and I might not have the authority. The figure is not a Keftiu and if you show the cartouche with the figure it will confuse people. They will think the figure is how a Keftiu looks. It is not If you can please don't show the figure. Please show the cartouche only. Thanks
