Fayummummyportraits is the name given to a large number of paintings from the first to third century.
These are encaustic paintings, made with hot, pigmented wax on wooden panels, which were inserted into the mummies of the deceased.
The surviving paintings are predominantly from the Fayum[?] region in Egypt, where the practice was common and the dry heat preserved many of the paintings until today.

According to Walker (2000), "CAT scans of all the complete mummies represented [in Walker (2000)] reveal a correspondence of age and, in suitable cases, sex between mummy and image." Walker concludes that the age distribution reflects the low life expectancy at the time.
