The ground mummy residue was believed to produce a pigment that was more durable than fresh asphaltum. In the 19th century, mummy brown was used as a transparent brown pigment for oil painting and for oil glazes. Some substitutes, such as Vandyke brown and bituminous earth pigments, were also sold under the name of "mummy." ]]></note></mads>
