#Fayum - like image of a goddess #Roman time Egypt
"The headdress – sun disk with flanking cow horns and crowned by two feathers indicates that Aphrodite-Hathor is probably depicted here. The figure on her right is missing. The oval face with the full cheeks is idealized, the suggested double chin and the so-called Venus wrinkles belong to an antique ideal of beauty." See #AltText

Four striking so-called #Fayum Romano-Egyptian mummy portraits from the #BrooklynMuseum. The difference between encaustic (the first and fourth portraits) and tempera (second and third portraits) is really striking. Encaustic brings the subject to life. #archaeology

Gold #Roman signet ring with carnelian or garnet intaglio from Petra, Jordan. It is small so it is believed that it belonged to a child, but it could have been worn by an adult person on the pinky finger what we can see on shrouds from #Fayum or sculptures from #Palmyra . The ring was found in the ruins of the Qasr al-Bint, the temple where the Nabataean god Dushara was probably worshiped.
