Peasants workers and other people of modest condition often wore nothing but the shenti made of flax was worn by all people. Animal skins such as leopards were sometimes worn by priests and pharaohs when they were the first servants of God. Clothes during ancient time were scarce due to lack of money so on a warm sunny day the kids sometimes roamed around naked. The dress of peasants consisted simply of the apron which in some cases amounted only to a band with pendant ends.
