Faiyum portraits

nunc stans

My daily photo slot yesterday showed five of the Hawara portraits from the Faiyum. Quite coincidentally I stumbled across this blog which has a You Tube video showing some more of the Faiyum portraits. The video simply shows a large number of the portraits, moving from one to the next without any sound or comment. Lovely.
