Mummy with an Inserted Panel Portrait of a Youth

Period: Roman Period
Date: A.D. 80–100
Geography: From Egypt, Fayum, Hawara, BSAE excavations 1910-1911
Medium: Encaustic on limewood, human remains, linen, mummification material
Dimensions: mummy: l. 169 cm (66 9/16 in); w. 45 cm (17 11/16 in)
panel as exposed: l. 38.1 cm (15 in); w. 18 cm (7 1/16 in)
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1911
Accession Number: 11.139

Description

This mummy retains the panel inserted over the face. The portrait depicts a youth with large deep-set eyes and a down-turned mouth. His downy moustache indicates that he is no older than his early twenties. A number of mummy portraits represent youths with their first facial hair, a feature that had particular connotations in the Greek-educated society of Roman Egypt. The incipient moustache was both an indicator of the young man's entrance into important social groups and a signal that he was at the prime of sexual attractiveness and vigor.

In this era mummies might be kept above ground for periods of some months up to several years before final burial. Most probably they were deposited in chapels in cemeteries, where they were visited by relatives for ritual meals.

head of an Egyptian dog

Origin: Egypt,

Material: Mummy

Physical: 17cm. (6.6 in.) - 325 g. (11.5 oz.)

Catalog: APR.LL.00982

This is the mummified head of an Egyptian dog, which may have been a household pet. The linen wrappings are intact, carefully draped and stitched to suggest the eyes and mouth of the animal. The iris of the eye is marked with black pigment. Similar embalming techniques can be seen on a Roman Era dog mummy at the British Museum (EA 6743).

The bitumen sealing the neck indicates that this is not a fragment from a whole dog mummy, but rather that the owner only had the head mummified.

Date undetermined. Formerly part of the collection of Viscountess Dalton.

CAT MUMMY

CAT MUMMY

The mummy of a cat wrapped in linen of two different colours in an elaborate, layered pattern. The head has been modelled and painted to resemble the animal. Some cats were mummified in a crouched position and placed in a cat-shaped coffin. The cat cult in honour to the goddess Bastet was particularly popular in the Late Period and the 1st century BC Greek historian, Diodorus Siculus, reported that he saw a Roman lynched in Egypt for accidentally killing a cat.

MALE MUMMY

MALE MUMMY

The well-preserved adult male mummy of Nesmin, son of Ankh-hap, from Akhmim. The outer wrappings of the mummy are covered in a layer of blackened resin, damaged at the feet, the mummy itself is very solid and heavy. Beautifully coloured panels of cartonnage lie across the length of the body, depicting winged goddesses, lotus flowers, vignettes and rosette patterns (see images).The face is covered with a finely worked gilded mask and wig.

The body cavities appear to be empty except for a layer of resin and an opaque, cylindrical mass in the left hypochondrium. A second opaque mass seems to be a linen swab impregnated with resin which covers the embalming incision. The arms are folded on the breast, left fingers clenched, right extended.

AKHMIM

A publication is currently in preparation by Denise Parkinson, on the life of H. Rider Haggard, his travels and subsequent collections.

RAM MUMMY

RAM MUMMY

The model mummy of a ram, bound in strips of linen in a pattern and possibly containing some parts of a real ram.

Khnum was the local deity of Esna and Elephantine, the most important of the ram deities, he was regarded as the creator of humankind and was depicted with long wavy horns. The Delta town of Mendes was the cult centre for the worship of Banebdjed. Sacred cemeteries containing the mummified remains of these animals have been found at Mendes, Saqqara, Esna, Herakleopolis Magna and Elephantine.

The coffin comes with a lid which dates from the same period, but which belongs not to Iufenamun but to a priestess of Amun called Tjentwerethequa, now thought to be Iufenamun’s grandmother.

Did you know?

The royal pharaohs reburied by Iufenamun were rediscovered in 1881. The story is told in Egyptian director Shadi Abdel Salam’s 1969 film Al-Mumiyaor The Night of the Counting Years.

Who was Iufenamun?

The prestigious titles, along with the high quality of the embalming and coffin base, imply that Iufenamun was a man of considerable importance. But who was he?

His titles suggest that he was a senior priest of Amun-Ra (Iufenamun means “he belongs to Amun”), and that he had many wide-ranging duties, including responsibility for the necropolis, or burial ground.

This means that this mummy could well be Iufenamun, son of Nesypaqashuty. This is an exciting discovery, as this Iufenamun was a significant figure in Egyptian history.

Thothirder

Thothirder

dynasty XXVI

Brooklyn Museum

The Egyptian word for mummy, sah, means “nobility” or “dignity” and denotes a divine and eternal manifestation of the deceased. According to ancient belief, the mummified body has been transformed into a home for the soul. After death, the mummy reunites with the ba-soul, which travels outside the tomb and serves the needs of the ka-soul (which receives food offerings) and the akh-soul (which represents all the parts integrated and acting together as a capable being in the afterlife).
The mummy shown here has undergone carbon-14 dating, a scientific method used to determine the date of archaeological samples. The results indicate that Thothirdes died between 768 and 545 B.C.E., supporting the Twenty-sixth Dynasty date suggested by the style of his coffin.
