| Reference: The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome, Volume 7, entry on Daedalic Art Reference information: Possibly of interest Daedalic figures are strictly frontal. The top of the head is flattened, and the face has the shape, more or less, of an inverted triangle. The forehead is low with a straight hairline. The hair falls in front of the shoulders either in a mass with horizontal divisions (the Etagenperücke) or as thick, vertically divided locks. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=lNV6-HsUppsC&pg=RA1-PA35... Journal of Social Archaeology 4(2) The modeled hairstyles too are eastern – a layered coiffure that German scholars called Etagenperücke. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:UFPKOQq... |
