EDITORS COMMENTS
This double-sided mummy portrait captures the essence of a young woman from er-Rubayat in the Faiyum during the 4th century AD. Painted with encaustic paint on wood, this exquisite piece measures 38x14.8 cm and is housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK. On one side, we witness the enchanting beauty of this female subject as she gazes directly into our souls. Her captivating eyes are framed by delicately arched eyebrows and adorned with intricate jewelry that accentuates her youthful features. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, bringing life to her flowing locks and capturing her elegant hairstyle. Flipping over to the verso reveals another aspect of this mysterious young woman's personality. Although not visible in this description due to copyright restrictions (please refer to AMQ104484), it offers an intriguing contrast or perhaps a complementary image that completes her story. This remarkable artwork provides us with a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and their belief in preserving portraits for eternity through mummification. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and reverence for life beyond death. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this timeless masterpiece from Fine Art Finder, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty and significance without commercial use implications.
