Tesem
Sign in to saveTesem (, tjezem; 30px) was the ancient Egyptian name for "hunting dog". In popular literature it denotes the prick-eared, leggy dog with a curled tail from the early Egyptian age, but it was also used with reference to the lop-eared "Saluki/Sloughi" type. It was one of several types of dogs in Ancient Egypt; particularly the latter Saluki/Sloughi type of Tesem, having the appearance most similar to that of a true sighthound.

Tesem é uma raça de cães, por muitos considerada uma das mais antigas, domesticadas pelo ser humano, de que se tem testemunho em várias representações em antigos túmulos egípcios. Entre as raças conhecidas hoje, assemelha-se ao “pharaoh hound”.
