slang Flattened oval package wrapped in bandages of medium-fine linen (width 4.5 cm, warp-faced tabby weave, about 11 x 24 threads/cm2) which run in various directions (concentric and diagonal). The bandages are frayed and damaged and have a number of dark stains. They appear to be stuck by means of gum arabic or a similar substance. There is no trace of an outer sheet; the bundle is now covered in modern gauze.
