Mummy Portrait, A.D. 75-100. Additional Info: This portrait of a woman presents many of the distinctive qualities characteristic of Romano-Egyptian funerary panels. The style of her dark, curly hair, bound up into a loose bun at the top of the head, was in fashion during the Flavian period (AD 68-96) and helps to date the portrait to the years around that time. The woman's face is painted in flesh and salmon tones, the background is dark grey, and her garment is pinkish-lavender (traditional for female funerary portraits) with black clavi (woven stripes) running vertically down the front. She is depicted wearing gold hoop earrings with inset emeralds and around her neck a triple-tiered necklace composed of an inner strand of pearls, a middle strand of gold beads, and an outer strand of alternating pearls and emeralds with a gold pendant.
