Some teacher once told me that all Egyptian statues were painted and that even on the sphinx they found particles of paint washed away through years of sand blasting. I presume the only difference was that the items underground were not subjected to the same conditions and more colour survived.

How well informed the teacher was I have no idea. I believed him though 😊
