This mummy portrait from Egypt reflects the blending of cultures. Her hairstyle is Hadrianic, but her corkscrew curls are specific to Egyptian styles. She wears luxe Roman jewelry and a rich purple tunic, but the gold surrounding and crowning her is an Egyptian motif. 🏺

120-140 CE. #MetMuseum 📸 me
This panel was not painted in the areas where the mummy wrappings have would covered the edges. Once in the wrappings, the background was gilded, and a gilded line was drawn to frame the lower end of the painting. Gold leaf was also used for the wreath and the lower necklace, a gold chain with a crescent (called a lunula). The woman's face and neck are thickly painted in cream, heightened with pink on the cheeks and nose and around the eyes. The shades are built up from a dark ground. The woman's oval face, large eyes, and slightly open lips give the portrait considerable presence. Venus rings on her neck call attention to her youthful plump beauty. The hairstyle is typical for the period of the Emperor Hadrian, except for the corkscrew locks around the forehead, which may be a regional style. Romano-Egyptian, ca. 120–140 CE. From Hawara (?), Egypt. Encaustic on wood with gold leaf. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (09.181.7)

Hard to go past the newly revealed fresco from Pompeii this #FrescoFriday. The lifesize scene shows a procession of Dionysius and this photo glorious frames a dancing maenad between two columns. The stunning scene is a feast of red hues!

#AncientBluesky🏺
This section of the fresco seems to be divided into registers as well as into sections via painted columns that seem to echo the actual columns that stand before them. The central panel shows a dancing maenad in a diaphanous gown. The upper register seems to be a scene of squid and other animals, some hung in preparation for a feast.

Papyrus enthüllt Steuerbetrug von Sklavenhändlern in Judäa
Ein 1900 Jahre alter Papyrus entpuppt sich als Merkzettel für eine antike Gerichtsverhandlung – und erzählt womöglich sogar von einer Verschwörung gegen Rom.
