Descripción
A bituminous pigment that is dark brown in color and was prepared during the16th-17th centuries by grinding Egyptian mummies that had been embalmed with asphaltum or bitumen. The ground mummy residue was believed to produce a pigment that was more durable than fresh asphaltum. In the 19th century, mummy brown was used as a transparent brown pigment for oil painting and for oil glazes. Some substitutes, such as Vandyke brown and bituminous earth pigments, were also sold under the name of "mummy."
