Mummy Portrait of a Woman, A.D. 100. Additional Info: Scrupulously painted in encaustic wax and enlivened with gilding, every aspect of this Romano-Egyptian portrait identifies its owner as a person of substantial wealth and social position. The name Isidora is written in Greek in black paint on the right upper shoulder of the mummy wrappings, and must refer to the deceased once encased in this "red shroud" mummy. The provenience of the original burial is unknown, however the curved top of the panel is commensurate with portraits found in Hawara, and a male "red-shroud" mummy has also been recovered there.
