Section of a wall painting from a tomb in ancient Egypt of the priest Userhat at Thebes. It reveals four women mourning, dressed in white, sitting and holding their heads with their hands and tears gushing. They are also grabbing the dirt and throwing it on their heads. Jeremiah 9:17-18 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters."
