She has a series as well (one of the images is above, with the shrouded figure in a table) that deals with mummies, they seem to be a lot about funeral rites/death ceremonies...? Something from the other side at any rate, really good point thanks Drew! Yeah totally!

I hadn't heard that before, but what an amazing thing, now I look at that sculpture in a totally different way. It totally looks like he's leaving this earth, or preparing too.
