EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art, known as the Mummy portrait of an Egyptian woman. Created between the 1st and 3rd centuries during the Roman period, these personalized portraits were inserted into mummies as a form of burial tradition in Ancient Egypt. Referred to as Fayum portraits, these encaustic paintings were made using hot pigmented wax on wooden panels. The level of detail and color captured in this particular portrait is truly astonishing. It offers us a glimpse into the life and appearance of an Egyptian woman from that era. The woman depicted in this artwork exudes elegance with her beautifully styled hair adorned with intricate jewelry such as earrings and necklaces. Her expressive face tells stories untold, reflecting both her individuality and the cultural norms prevalent at that time. Preserved within the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this artifact serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt. As we admire this print today, we are reminded not only of our fascination with death rituals but also our enduring curiosity about civilizations long gone.
