Preserved Egyptian mother? (5)
I believe the answer is:
mummy
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'preserved egyptian' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'mother?' is the second definition.
(I know that mother can be written as mummy)
(Other definitions for mummy that I've seen before include "Embalmed corpse" , "Embalmed Egyptian" , "Parent - Egyptian corpse" , "one kept under wraps" , "Preserved Egyptian" .)
