The image shows two vintage paint tubes labeled "MUMMY," alongside a swatch panel demonstrating the color of the pigment. The larger tube has a label describing the paint as "Bituminous pigment from mummies embalmed with asphalt," produced by C. Roberson & Co. in London. The tubes are visibly worn and have residue or leakage at the openings.

The swatch panel on the right displays the pigment applied in two different mediums—above in "size" and below in "linseed oil"—showing a reddish-brown hue of varying intensity. Below the swatch is a printed note specifying the medium layers. A grayscale and centimeter scale measurement tool is placed at the bottom for reference.

The image shows two tubes of paint and a sample paint swatch on a white background.

On the left, there are two paint tubes — one smaller and one larger. Both tubes have labels that identify the contents as "MUMMY" pigment. The larger tube's label explains that the pigment is bituminous and derived from mummies embalmed with asphaltum. This tube has a handwritten marking "17 A" on it. The smaller tube also has a label indicating "MUMMY" but the text is less visible.

To the right, there is a paint swatch on a rectangular card. The card is divided into two sections showing different applications of the MUMMY pigment. The upper part of the card is marked "above - size" and shows a lighter application of the pigment, while the lower part is marked "below - linseed oil" and shows a darker, more saturated application. The bottom of the card has the word "MUMMY" printed on it.

Below the swatch, there is a color calibration scale for reference. It includes shades of gray, white, and a measurement in centimeters.

The image depicts two tubes of "Mummy" pigment and a sample card showing the pigment's appearance. Here is a detailed description:

  1. Tubes of Pigment:

    • Large Tube: The larger tube is labeled "MUMMY Bituminous pigment from mummies embalmed with asphalt" and is manufactured by C. Roberson & Co., London. The tube has a beige label and appears to have some dried pigment around the opening. It is marked with "17A" in black ink.
    • Small Tube: The smaller tube also has a beige label with the same branding and labeling as the larger tube. It is marked with "MTB" in black ink.
  2. Sample Card:

    • The sample card shows two swatches of the "Mummy" pigment.
    • The top swatch is labeled "above - size," and the bottom swatch is labeled "below - linseed oil."
    • The card is beige with black text.
    • The pigment appears to have a brownish hue, with the linseed oil swatch showing a slightly darker and more uniform color.
  3. Scale:

    • A scale is included at the bottom of the image for reference, showing measurements in centimeters (10, 20, 30, 40 cm).

The pigment "Mummy" is historically significant as it was made from ground-up ancient Egyptian mummies, which were embalmed with bitumen (asphalt). This practice was common in the 18th and 19th centuries but is no longer used due to ethical and preservation concerns.
