The story behind the artwork
Egypt is commonly referred to as "Umeddunya," which means the Mother of the world in Arabic. Considering that in many ways Egypt was the cradle of civilization, it's easy to see how it got this name.
Located in North Africa, Egypt is home to one of the earliest and most advanced civilizations in the world. Back in 3150 B.C, the ancient Egyptians made major contributions to architecture, technology, astronomy, medicine, art, and much more.
Believe it or not, even the first evidence of 360 wave hairstyles appeared in Egypt thousands of years ago. That's right, Egyptians have been spinning since the dawn of civilization. If you visit the Imhotep Museum in Saqqara, you can still see these statues to this day. Rocking this A-rag thus connects you to the Mother of civilizations and 360 waves!

I feel like a king when I where this. A major swag booster. The trimming on the tail is a great touch, plus the tassel! The pictures don't do it justice.
