Her hairstyle is the one in fashion at the time of the emperor Hadrian, with the addition of corkscrew curls on the forehead, perhaps a local custom. Her face was painted on a thin wooden panel which, when she died, was placed over the mummy's face. These are the portraits we call Fayum portraits, after the region of Egypt where many were found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe face is painted in thick cream-coloured layers, with pink on the cheeks, the nose and around the eyes, and the shadows rise from a dark ground. The wreath and the necklace are made with real gold leaf; from the necklace hangs a lunula, a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. The original is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and is on show in the exhibition \u003cem\u003eIl potere del ritratto. Egitto e Roma. I volti del Fayum\u003c\/em\u003e, at the Museo dell'Ara Pacis in Rome from 5 November 2026 to 2 May 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a bedroom or a hallway the gold of the wreath catches the light.
