Yaakov wore a Kippah?

One of the gripes some people have is when modern Jewish children books portray the avos in current Jewish garb (like streimels, etc.).

However, it should be noted that it is quite possible that the avos DID dress similarly to current Jews as shown in this statue:

This is a statue from Mari dating to the 2nd millenia B.C.E. (the patriarchal time period). As is clear, the shepherd depicted has a nice chassidisha beard and what looks very much like a kippah (although it seems to be only a band around the head with the top of head uncovered).

Threrefore, one can accuratly depict tha avos as having long beards and kippot and still be pretty accurate to the true garb of shepherds in that time period. Pretty cool.
