Description:

|
Head of a lady, hollow mask in painted stucco, from Middle Egypt, Faiyum (Fayoum), which the Romans called Arsinoë. Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire in 30 BCE and remained under Roman (Eastern Empire) control until 641 CE. Like all mummy masks it was meant to slip over the head of the wrapped mummy and give a portrait sense of the deceased. This was probably created as an actual death mask molded out of stucco and then finished in a way that would allow it to fit on the mummy. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
