    Abstract

    This note presents a novel approach to facial approximation adopting forensic methodologies, that is the process of recreating an individual's facial traits from their osteological remains by combing anatomo-anthropological techniques with artistic rendering. In this article, a facial approximation of the famous mummy known as the "Gilded Lady" is offered based on previously published video material and CT scan data. The process is explained in its main steps. This new facial approximation contributes to the ongoing technical development of the digital applications to the field of bioarchaeology.
