prunelike
Shriveled and dark
Resembling a prune in appearance or texture—wrinkled, dried, shriveled.
Most often describes skin after prolonged exposure to water: My fingers got all prunelike in the bath.
Can also describe anything with that characteristic dark, wrinkled quality: prunelike dried apricots.
