单词	cartonnage
释义	cartonnage /ˈkɑːt(ə)nɪdʒ / noun An ancient Egyptian mummy case made of tightly fitting layers of linen or papyrus glued together.It was found in the cartonnage of an Egyptian mummy, the flexible layer of fibre or papyrus which was moulded while wet into a plaster-like surface around the irregular parts of a mummified wrapped body, so that motifs could be painted on.... The mask, made of cartonnage - layers of linen and papyrus stiffened with plaster - is one of only three masks to have survived which were worn by the living as opposed to those like Tutankhamen's gold mask designed for the dead. So tombs are thrown open, the cartonnage stripped from the mummified corpses of crocodiles and people, the plaster-stained papyri scanned with restless eyes - the body thus laid bare a curio, nothing more. Origin Mid 19th century: French.
