Her face was painted with colours mixed into wax on a thin limewood panel which, when she died, was placed over the mummy's face among the bandages. It is one of the portraits we call Fayum portraits, after the region of Egypt where many were found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Egyptians the skin of the gods was made of gold, and whoever passed the judgement of the afterlife became like them: that is why the background of the panel was gilded. The painter built everything else to make the face stand out. The black hair, the shadowed neck and the dark red tunic surround it, while the large, serious eyes, with long lashes, look straight at us. A few locks fall along the neck, and a wreath and gold jewellery once shone in her hair and on her chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which acquired it in 1909.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a bedroom or a living room the red of the tunic warms the wall.
