Across the breast was one hand, unwrapped.

In the mummies which I had seen, the arms and hands are within the wrappings, and certain adornments of wood, shaped and painted to resemble arms and hands, lie outside the enwrapped body.
"But this hand was strange to see, for it was the real hand of her who lay enwrapped there; the arm projecting from the cerements being of flesh, seemingly made as like marble in the process of embalming.

Arm and hand were of dusky white, being of the hue of ivory that hath lain long in air.

The skin and the nails were complete and whole, as though the body had been placed for burial over night.

I touched the hand and moved it, the arm being something flexible as a live arm; though stiff with long disuse, as are the arms of those faqueers which I have seen in the Indees.
