Mummy portrait of woman. The portrait is painted using the encaustic technique onto lime panels. This was an imported Mediterranean wood and was used for the majority of the Hawara portraits. This panel would have been placed over the face of a mummy.
At the moment, this record does not display units or type of measurements. We will rectify this as soon as possible.
