Notes: 4)
The
original wood support of the portrait at
Goucher College, Baltimore, is
typical sycamore
(Stout, Restoration), and E. Berger affirmed
that
the portraits in the Graf
collection in Vienna were
on
sycamore (Beitrage, p. 198).
Analysis of portraits then in the
National Gallery,
London, was carried out by R. Moore at the
Jodrell
Laboratory of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew;
London; the 2nd-century panels
proved to be lime,
and the later panel fir (Ramer, 'Technology',
p. 4, figs. 2, 3).
Four portraits from Hawara in the
Petrie Museum are
on limewood (information at the museum) [52, 67,
70,
40].
Of three portraits examined by the laboratories
of the Louvre,
two
proved to be on limewood
[including 109), while another,
from Antinoopolis, was on a species of fig,
Ficus carica
(Coche de la Ferte, Portraits, p. 11).
