The mummy portraits are a collection of remarkably lifelike funerary paintings made in the 1st–3rd centuries AD, during Egypt's Roman Period. They are popularly known as the “Fayoum portraits” because it is there that the majority of these amazing artifacts have been discovered. Placed over the faces of the wrapped mummies of the deceased to preserve their features for eternity, they represent a unique cultural fusion combining Graeco-Roman naturalistic art with a purely Egyptian funerary purpose.
