This print showcases a remarkable Mummy portrait from the late 2nd century. Created using cartonnage, paint, glass, and bronze, this ancient artwork reflects the fusion of Egyptian and Roman influences during the Roman Period (c. 30 BC - AD 337). Measuring at an impressive size of 37.8x18.4x19.1 cm, it is currently housed in the esteemed Dallas Museum of Art in Texas. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship evident in this piece make it a true testament to the artistry of its time. The female bust depicted exudes an air of mystery and elegance, capturing the essence of women from antiquity. As a funerary artifact, this mummy portrait holds great significance as it was believed to serve as a visual representation or guide for the deceased's soul in their journey into the afterlife. It stands as a powerful reminder of ancient burial practices and rituals that were deeply rooted in spirituality. With its rich history and cultural importance, this sculpture offers us a glimpse into both Egyptian and Roman traditions while showcasing their artistic prowess.
