Another interesting piece of antique art the same day by the same writer. Remains of 1,500-year-old monastery and church with 'outstanding' mosaic floors and imported marble are uncovered in Israel

Knowing the techniques for the Egyptian portrait is thrilling. These should be down your Ping alley. Best, Mary

Interesting - but there are a whole lot more and better portraits from the same period in the Cairo Museum. That was the Greek period and they were very big into lifelike portraits of the deceased on the casket.
