+**Brief description:** 
+
+Red-shroud portrait mummy of a man. The mummy is supported on two narrow
+wooden planks, which are tied
+together with bandages. This structure and the mummy were
+wrapped together in a shroud made of a single piece of plain-weave
+linen, folded neatly over the feet but gathered more roughly at the top
+of the head and stuck in place. The shroud is painted in bright scarlet
+made from a mixture of red lead, chalk/calcite and carbon-based black,
+and applied in a beeswax medium. The decorative elements are outlined in
+grey paint (lead white, yellow ochre and carbon-based black in a wax and
+oil medium) and completed with purple paint (made from carbon-based
+black, iron oxide red, calcite and lead white), copper-based green frit,
+and gold leaf, with final detailing in black. 
+
+The portrait panel sits in an opening cut into the front of the shroud.
+The painting was executed in a beeswax medium, using a pigment palette
+similar to that found in the shroud decoration. The paint was applied
+with a brush along with a variety of tools to build up texture.
