Who is Cupbearer?
A lean Egyptian court servant with a worried face, cropped black hair, and kohl-rimmed eyes. He wears a clean but plain ivory linen kilt, narrow blue sash, leather sandals, and a small gold-rimmed wine cup; a painted vine motif on his belt identifies his work serving Pharaoh's drink.
