swathed
Bound in cloth
Swathed means wrapped or enveloped, typically in layers of cloth or bandages: The mummy lay swathed in linen.
The word extends to anything that surrounds or covers completely: mountains swathed in mist, a celebrity swathed in fur.
It suggests being bundled or cocooned rather than lightly draped.
