	The Encyclopedia of Henna: Regale Unguentum
		Some remaining ceramic Parthian figures show red tinting on hands and feet, indicating men stained their skin with henna during the Parthian period, lending weight to the probability that Royal Unguent was a henna mix as we understand it and meant to be used for body art.
		However, an Assyrian bas-relief of a royal procession from Nimrud in 865 BCE at the British Museum still has traces of red colorant on the soles and toes of the king and some of his courtiers.
		This can be interpreted to indicate that henna was appropriate for royal men’s feet on ceremonial occasions, and potentially places "Royal Unguent", if this can be interpreted as a henna mix, in a much earlier period.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ointment in Scripture
		The particularly rich unguent known as the "holy oil of unction" is frequently referred to in the "priestly" sections of the Pentateuch and in Paralipomenon.
		Oil and ointment however, are distinguished in Luke vii, 46: "My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet." Identical or similar preparations, in which myrrh was an important ingredient, were used in anointing the dead body as well as the living subject (Luke 23:56).
		So prized were these unguents that they were kept in pots of alabaster, and among the Egyptians they were said to retain their fragrance even for centuries.
