Mummy Portrait of a Bearded Man, about A.D. 150-170. Additional Info: The man in this funerary portrait has tightly curled black hair, thick eyebrows, a beard and moustache. He is clad in a traditional white funerary tunic with red clavi (woven stripes). One extends vertically from the man’s proper right shoulder. A mantle (pallium) is draped over his proper left shoulder; at its lower edge is an H pattern similar to that on the Portrait of a Boy and possibly indicating the presence of an embroidery motif.
