This is the wig of Merit, wife of Kha, found in the tomb of the couple (TT8) in Thebes, present-day Luxor, Egypt. The wig was constructed of human hair and consists of many different hair pieces. It was beautifully made over 3300 years ago! The wig can now be seen in the Museo Egizio, Torino, Italy.
