As a group, we focused on analyzing the physical aspects of the artwork. We were intrigued by the colors and material of the mummy and questioned why the artist chose to employ specific elements such as the object the mummy was depicted as holding and trying to understand their symbolic significance. We tried to connect our hypotheses with the social historical background information that we may have had prior to our visit. It would have been more helpful if we had more information about how Egyptian art influenced Roman art. If we had more time, it would have been wonderful to focus more on the historical significance of the artwork and what inspired it.
