Gilded mummy portrait of a woman. Probably from er-Rubayat, Fayum, Egypt. The woman's hair is arranged in the fashion of the mid-second century AD. She wears a gold wreath of leaves, an unusual purple tunic with gold bands, and a white mantle. Her earrings are made of emeralds set in gold, with suspended pearls. Her necklace is composed of a large emerald and a red stone (perhaps carnelian) in gold mounts and separated by gold plaques. Roman Period, ca. 160-170 CE. 44.2 x 20 cm. Inv. 65346.
