Understanding wood choices for ancient panel painting and mummy portraits in the APPEAR project through scanning electron microscopy
In Roman-period Egypt, it is clear that despite maintaining the traditional practice of mummification, there was a fashion for funerary portraiture that echoed Greek and Roman traditions in the Mediterranean region. The excellent condition of preservation of the wood anatomy of these mummy portraits enabled an unexpected revelation from their...Cartwright, Caroline
