Mummy portrait

Plaster mummy mask with finely modelled cheeks and mouth, and elaborately painted details such as the eyelashes and nostrils. The mask is broken away at the front black hair and green garland, with a coarse linen textile support at the back. The style is typical of provincial cemeteries in Egypt during the earlier part of Roman rule.
