Roman Portrait of a Woman - a photo on Flickriver

            A rather well-to-do woman during the Roman period in Ancient Egypt. This would have been placed over the face of the mummy, which was wrapped in layered geometric patterns. The mummy may have then been put in the house so that it could participate in the family.
