This would be a woman from ancient Numidia, a kingdom in North Africa that straddled the area between northeastern Algeria and western Tunisia. I wanted her design to mix elements of native African culture with that of the “classical” Mediterranean cultures the Numidians would have interacted with, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians. That’s why she has both a Greek-style chiton and a hairstyle inspired by those of Punu women from the Central African country of Gabon.
