Abstract

In the egyptian collection of the Saffron Walden museum in essex, the painted linen portion of a mummy mask from Deir el-Bahri forms the outer wrapping of the mummy of a child. the mask is part of a well-attested group of such objects dating to the late roman Period (c.250–300 ce), offering a terminus post quem for the mummy.
