the Fayum portraits

from Roman era mummies from the Fayum area of northern Egypt: What they actually looked like. unlike traditional Egyptian art, most were upper class, but some were of middle class people, including the migrants and those descended from Greeks and others who had moved there and often intermarried with local Egyptians: e.g. Greeks, Hebrews, Syrians, etc.

And unlike much "traditional" art, they suggest the personality of the person.
