Heres one highly theoretical drawing I did of a Moabite. I really had very little to go on, so I used one of the only known Moabite stelae ever found (that one hailing from Balua)(the only reason people think its Moabite is that it was found in Moabite territory from the period, but the mysterious script on it has yet to be translated) and cross-referenced it with an Egyptian tile that seemed to match it pretty closely, just to give me a bit more detail. The tile chosen does wear typical southern Canaanite robes of the time, as described in My King David post. Still, this one is doubtful, but I do what I can. Yall can decide on this one. Note: The tile is often identified as showing a Philistine, but due to differences between the headdress in the tile and the traditional Philistine headdress, both I and (the much more educated in this matter) Andrea Salimbeti agree that this is more than likely a misidentification.
