  Yeah, I  feel that way too.  We also know that he
sometimes wore a headband to keep the unruly locks off
his face as described in the Jewels of Gwahlur.

   Could be...I like that image.  Does anyone have an

peoples of the Black Kingdoms, particularly Kush knew
his raiding.  Maybe he wore Kushite jewelry?
