		The Metropolitan's presentation of "Ancient Faces: Mummy Portraits from Roman Egypt," was the result of a collaboration with the British Museum, which organized a similar exhibition in 1977.
		The full range of mummy portrait techniques—encaustic and tempera on wood panels, tempera paintings on linen, and painted masks and coffins of plaster and cartonnage—was represented in the exhibition, which was organized thematically and chronologically.
		Although the two mummy portraits he acquired in Saqqara (outside Cairo) were described and depicted in the book, they were perceived as curiosities rather than works of art.

		These portraits, created during the first and second centuries CE for burial ritual purposes, are heralded for their technical and emotive mastery.
		What fascinates me about the Fayum paintings is that they were creative in a fundamental sense, as funerary paintings they were to bring to life for eterntiy what they pictorally represent.
		The portraits show that size and monumentality are not directly related, as the paintings are quite small but hold the largeness of a presence and a time period lost long ago.

	[Wikipedia-l] Galleries on Wikipedia vs. galleries on Wikimedia Commons
		There currently are a few, e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_Fayum_mummy_portraits My proposal would be that such galleries should reside on the Commons, unless they include substantial encyclopedic information for individual images.
		If there is no such information, the relevant article should include a link to the Commons gallery and a couple of striking example images.
		An interesting side effect of such a policy would be that fair use images could only be used in an encyclopedic context, as they are not allowed on the Commons.
