Roman Period Mummy
Mummy with a Fayoum Portrait.
The so-called "Lady of Kemet" is a late example of one of the most unique activities practised by the Egyptians. Oh her bandages, divine portrayals allude to the death-resurrection-continuity of the life cycle, the ultimate goal sought for her. In 1998, doctors Félix Escalas and Javier Lucaya conducted a morphological and anatomical study of the mummy by applying Helicoidal Computerised Axial Tomography. The results have enable us to confirm her sex, age (15 years) and height (1.65m). No major injuries were found, although an occipital perforation was found which was used to extract the contents of the crainium.
