These portraits were a development of the ancient Egyptian funerary mask. The portraits were painted in encaustic: pigments mixed into molten wax. See the tabloid Classification by : names artists places periods Description    Cette salle rassemble de nombreux cerceuils et masques de la période gréco-romaine ainsi que des momies et plusieurs potraits provenant du Fayoum. Beaucoup de ces derniers ont été trouvé au Antinoé mais la majorité des portraits connus, soit plus de 700, proviennent du Fayoum qui leur a donné son nom. Ces portraits étaient peints à l'aide de la cire chaude servant de liant, quelqu'uns étant réalisés sur du plâtre entoilé. Ce procédé a été importé par les Grecs lorsqu'ils ont fondé des colonnies dans cette région.
