mummy wrappings
Ancient burial cloth
Mummy wrappings are the strips of linen cloth wound around a corpse during mummification, especially in ancient Egyptian burial practices.
The bandages preserved the body and held it in shape.
The term appears in discussions of archaeology, museum exhibits, and horror films featuring reanimated mummies: The mummy wrappings were remarkably intact after three thousand years.
