Boy of Faiyum pop-up card
This card was prompted by the portrait I showed earlier. The portrait of the Roman boy living in Egypt at the artificial lake got me thinking, what would a Roman boy do for fun? The coffin portrait shows a gold laurel crown suggesting the boy was involved in sports. Beside that, what would a boy do who lived in a place like, say, Florida. A lot of things came to mind having to do with the delta and with water. This card is what arose from thinking about that. I have not spoken to the person since I mailed this card. I have no idea how the card was received.
