The mummy with the painted shroud

The mummy with the painted shroud belonged to a woman who lived in Egypt during the Roman Period between the 1st-2nd century AD.

Under the scientific direction of the Bologna Archaeological Museum and the Eurac Research Institute for Mummy Studies, a considerable program of diagnostic investigations was defined in order to reconstruct the biological (sex, age at death and stature) and paleopathological profile of the mummy, the possible embalming techniques, and to determine optimal conservation treatment of the tissue.

This interdisciplinary work was carried out in collaboration with prestigious research institutes and professionals in the field, who effectively brought their expertise together.
