Encaustic paintings are two-thousand-year-old
mummy paintings made by people of Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Syrian, and Libyan
descent.
This funeral shroud (circa A.D. 140) is nearly life-sized, with a deceased Roman man in the center and Osiris, a god of the underworld, and Anubis, a god of the dead, on either side of him. The encaustic painting is particular for two reasons. First, it is a sepulchral portrait which is a portrait of the deceased placed over the mummy wrappings. For the first three centuries of civilization, this tradition was practiced in Roman Egypt and surrounding areas. The second reason this painting is significant is due to the blending of two cultures, Egyptian and Roman.
