cartonnage
Cartonnage is a type of material composing Egyptian funerary masks from the First Intermediate Period onward. It was made of layers of linen or papyrus covered with plaster. Some of the Fayum mummy portraits are also painted on panels made of cartonnage.
==Technique==
In a technique similar to papier-mâché, scraps of linen or papyrus were stuck together with plaster or resin and used to make mummy cases and masks. After the material dried it could be painted or gilded and molded to the shape of the body, forming a type of shell. The shell could be decorated with geometric shapes, deities, and inscriptions. During Ptolemaic times the single shell method was altered to include four to six pieces of cartonnage. There would generally be a mask, pectoral, apron, and foot casing. In certain instances there were two additional pieces used to cover the ribcage and stomach.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://papyri.tripod.com/texts/cartonnage.html )〕
