Anotations

Scope note:

Masks painted on stucco, cartonnage, metal, or wood that were placed over the heads of mummies in order to preserve the facial features of the deceased. The painted features were idealized; in the Greek-Roman period they became more realistic. For the later flat Fayum portraits of Rome-occupied Egypt, use "mummy portraits."
