Painted mummy portraits from Roman Egypt are among the most remarkable survivors from the ancient world, providing insight into burial customs as well as style and fashion trends from the 1st-3rd century A.D.
The ancient Egyptians believed that the spirit of the deceased aspired to dwell in perpetuity in the realm of Osiris, God of the Underworld. For this to happen, the body needed to be preserved for the spirit to continue to exist. The tradition of mummifying the deceased continued for several centuries into the Roman period, although in some regions, instead of placing the body in a coffin, the deceased was wrapped in linen with a painted wood portrait positioned over the head.
