He used tempera, colours mixed with glue, on a panel of cedar of Lebanon, a rare and costly wood that reached Egypt from far away. Analysis shows that the wood is centuries older than the painting: it may have been taken from an older tomb and reused. Like the other portraits we call Fayum portraits, it was placed over the face of the mummy, among the bandages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine and the roses are not mere ornament: according to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, which holds the panel, they may link this man to the cult of Isis, the great Egyptian goddess worshipped throughout the Empire. Very similar panels come from Er-Rubayat, a village in the Fayum region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a dining room it brings home a toast of eighteen centuries ago.
