Who is Joseph?
A slim, tall young man with short curled dark hair, kohl-rimmed eyes, and clean-shaven face. Wears an ankle-length pleated linen robe with a gold-embroidered shoulder band in vizier scenes; a plain kalasiris kilt in steward scenes. Later, a striped nemes headcloth and gold pectoral. Sandals complete his look.
