Description: | Fragment of linen decorated with painting. Part of a shroud. Part of the hair can be seen in black.This is part of a woman's shroud dating to the second century AD. At this period deceased women were often associated with Hathor, rather than Osiris. The coils of Hathor's hair can be seen. Hathor wears decorated sleeves and a rosette over the breast. The Neith sign appears on her arm. For similar shrouds see- Christina Riggs 2005 'The Beautiful Burial in Roman Egypt. Art, Identity, and Funerary Religion' Oxford University Press, 191-196. This appears to be a Soter-type shroud. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | 100 AD-200 AD
