Fragment of a painted mummy shroud. Culture: Roman, Egyptian. Dimensions: H.: 11 1/4 in. (28.5 cm). Date: late 2nd-3rd century A.D..This fragment is part of a portrait of a woman painted in tempera on a linen shroud. All that survives is a view of her hands: she wears a lot of jewelry, including a ring on every finger of her left hand. The snake-ring on her right hand finds parallels in actual gold rings, which are usually dated to the first century A.D., but this shroud is probably later. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
