[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9880942, member: 8267"]The construction is not what I would have expected, with two layers of wood. The same ground preparation and paint appear to cover both layers on the edges, so both appear to be original to the construction. Odd. The style also reminded me of the Fayum portraits, but I think this is larger than those typically are. There are just a lot of features we can't assess from photographs, so I think Bev's suggestion of taking it to a museum may be your best option.[/QUOTE]
